Who do you think you are?
Identity stories in the face of mergers

Keynote

We are witnessing  wave of mergers within higher education. Mergers challenge the identities of the institutions and the people within them and trigger stories about “who we are” and “who we will become”. We look into research on some typical stories that emerge among employees during mergers and how managers (and communication people) can influence such stories.
