The board lacks arguments for implementation of CBS merger

25/08/2006

Possible merger

At the August 10th meeting the board decided that CBS should continue as an independent Danish Business University – possibly in international partnership.

World-class universities

In order to realize the government vision of world-class universities, including a Danish business school there needs to be an international partnership strategy.

CBS wants collaboration

CBS sees the importance of a united university environment in the Capital area, however understands the importance, as well, of maintaining an independent profile and identity.

Autonomy is paramount in order to maintain flexible, fast and innovative interaction with the business world and civil society.

Arguments wanted

Talks with the management of KU, DTU and ASB have not yet lead to convincing arguments that the synergy would increase by a possible merger.

In depth analysis of the overlapping fields, and pros and cons of different collaboration scenarios with KU, DTU or ASB are available in CBS’ letter to the Ministry, which can be read

here.

The letter is a working paper sent to the Ministry of Science on August 14th. The final letter will be sent to the Ministry before September 15th, after the CBS board meeting on September 6th.
