Remolding and critically thinking: multiple institutional logics of merging medical colleges and universities with comprehensive universities / 中华医学教育探索杂志

ABSTRACT

Drawing on the analysis framework of multiple institutional logics, the government, institutions and market constitute the triple institutional logics in the merger of higher education institutions, in which the government logic occupies the dominant position, the institution logic considers its own survival and development, the market logic realizes benefit regulation and organizational restructuring, and the triple logics interact and influence each other, gradually reaching the balance of interests and organizations. With the completion of the merger of higher education institutions, government logic and institutional logic would gradually give way to the continuous role of market logic. Medical education in multi-disciplinary colleges or comprehensive universities would return to the relative independence and integrity of medical education under the role of internal and external environment.
