“…This is due to changes in the wake of new public management (Huber 2012) and the expansion of higher education. The university has turned into an actor with strategic agency (Krücken and Meier 2006;Meier 2009;de Boer et al 2007) possessing an enlarged autonomy (Bogumil et al 2013) and facing an increasing number of tasks and duties (Schimank 2001;Schreiterer 2010). These circumstances have fostered the formerly uncertain claim (Pellert 1999;Braun 2001;Nickel 2007) that the university definitely is an organization.…”

“…While enterprises can change their products and service at will, no public university in Germany could dismiss teaching or research as organizational goals. At the same time, universities have significantly gained autonomy in the wake of new public management as a lot of decisions have been transferred from the ministry to university management (Hüther 2010;Bogumil et al 2013). Today, universities are expected to actively manage their own business and to make farreaching decisions on a broad range of issues.…”

The paper claims that the organizational character of the (German) university can be comprehended best with the aid of the concept Bmultiple hybrid organization.^To corroborate this claim, I reconstruct two lines of argument that have dominated the discourse on the organizational nature of the German university so far. This discourse has only started in the late 1980s and early 1990s in the wake of new public management emphasizing that the reform of higher education governance has turned German universities into corporate actors (Meier 2009; Krücken and Meier 2006). At the same time, voices have risen advocating the singularity of the university and contrasting it to bureaucratic and corporate forms of organization. The paper starts by outlining these two strands of argumentation: the first highlights the organizational normality of the German university, the next its singularity. Against this background, I shall argue that both positions can be integrated if we rely on the term Bmultiple hybrid organization.^This concept is integrated into the systems theory concept of formal organization which serves as a theoretical means for analyzing organizations at large. The new concept of multiple organizational hybridity demonstrates its usefulness in showing that the structural particularity of the German university is rooted in numerous frictions pertaining to all its organizational structures.

“…University and faculty leaders carry an ascending influence as experts in health politics and economics. For example, ministries negotiate target agreements with universities to allocate their funds according to key performance indicators [2], [3], [4]. Fifteen federal states have introduced university councils called “Hochschulräte” as the new governing body [3].…”

BackgroundThe acquisition of a medical professorship represents a significant step in a physician’s academic career. The responsibility as well as the honor and the associated obligations are significant; however, the requirements to become a medical professor vary in Germany.ObjectiveWe analyzed the variable requirements for prospective medical professors in Germany, with special focus on the tenure track concept and the U.S. system.MethodsBased on an online research, we queried German medical faculty regulations to obtain a medical professorship within Germany.ResultsWe analyzed 35 German universities. On average, 11 publications are required after “venia legendi” to meet professorship (apl) prerequisites (median x̅ = 10, max = 24, min = 6, n = 16), whereas 6 publications with first or last authorship are required on average (x̅ = 6, max = 16, min = 4, n = 26). In most German universities, it takes an average of 4 years after gaining habilitation to apply for a professorship (x̅ = 5 years, max = 6 years, min = 2 years). Candidates for university chair positions, however, can shorten this period by an average of 38%.DiscussionIn the German academic system, the prerequisites to gain a professorship differ among universities. Due to different scientific cooperation and exchange programs, research and academic activities have reached an intense international exchange level. Yet there is no international or even national standardization, quality assurance, and comparability to gain a medical professorship.
