    Abstract

    This article presents an analysis of the mergers in the Danish Higher
    Education (HE)-sector with a particular emphasis on the 2007
    mergers involving universities and Government Research Institutes
    (GRIs). Furthermore, it follows the post-merger processes up to
    2014/2015 at two Danish universities and examines the
    consequences of the changes seen from the perspective of the
    key stakeholders, the university managements and the employees.
    It is shown that the two cases differ in important respects, but
    also that the three groups of actors within each case have
    different views of both the processes and the outcomes. Finally, it
    is shown that it makes a significant difference whether a federal
    or a unitary structure is implemented after the merger, although
    each solution has both strengths and weaknesses.
