Abstract
New environmental conditions together with
high speed of transformation cause changes in universities’ traditional roles
in economic systems. At the same time, different environmental expectations and
factors have led universities to act with strategic consciousness to be
effective like businesses. It is conceived that; different inter-organizational
expectations could reflect on universities’ strategic plans and are possibly
constructed under institutional isomorphism. Therefore, reflections of changes
in the roles of universities in Turkey could be perceived through institutional
isomorphism and hence reflect on universities’ strategic plans. This study aims to analyze the universities’
strategic plans and reveal whether there is isomorphism among them, especially
with respect to their strategic targets addressing market demands. Thus, top
ten universities in Entrepreneurial and Innovative University Index were
subjected to content analysis. Findings indicate that universities’ strategic
plans have corresponding content with the Article 12, Higher Education Law
No.2547. Accordingly, this study argues that considering their visions,
universities reflect isomorphic tendencies due to being inspired by strategies
adopted by Council of Higher Education. In other words, universities are acting
with a common institutional logic, especially in terms of their vision.
