The impact of mergers, acquisitions and collaborations in Higher Education and other knowledge based sectors

The review expands and builds on earlier work by Hefce (2012) on Collaborations, Alliances and Mergers (CAMs) by developing a typology of alternative organisational forms, illustrative vignettes demonstrating success and impact, and concludes with seven questions that will frame debate on what works in changing organisational forms. The aim is to generate learning across the sector. This review will be useful for governing bodies, senior leaders and experts in higher education governance.
