Publication date: 2018Source: Procedia - Social and Behavioral Sciences, Volume 238Author(s): Nicolae Aurelian Bibu, Adriana (ILIE) IsacAbstractIn the current globalised academic world, merger between universities has emerged as a way to increase their competitiveness in the last decades. This paper aims to develop a framework for successfully managing mergers as a way to increase the international competitiveness of Romanian universities. Several cases of mergers between universities around the world were analyzed and presented. Consequently, successful practices of merger actions were detached and interpreted in the context of Romanian universities characteristics. Consequently, we have built a general framework that could facilitate the management of universities fusion in Romanian higher education context. Possible limitations of the study and directions for future research are also discussed and analyzed.
