Abstract
Introduction: A complex network of factors arise when academic organisational units are
established or existing units are changed. These factors include academic
values, convictions about the academic standards of disciplines or professional
programmes, ideals and sentiments for the future and particular approaches of
disciplines and/or professions. Then it becomes significant how power is used in
staff appointments and in the allocation of resources, as the custodian of academic
reputation plus individual and institutional development processes. In many
universities traditions and customs determine how such issues are considered,
debated and decided or are transformed into institutional policies and rules.
