Historical analysis of the Copenhagen Business School (CBS) reveals that the current mix of institutional models has emerged in seven partially overlapping phases: the private business school (1917-1951), the public organization (1951-1965), the university (1961-1975), the political organization (1970-1974), reinforcement of the political organization (1974-1985), revival of the private organization, & creation of the international business school (1985-present). The CBS's incorporation of five different institutional models -- private, public, university, political, & international -- is explained in terms of two factors that have mutually affected each other over time: the historical introduction of different institutional models & the promotion of contestation of various institutional models by various social actors. 1 Table.

The local adaptation of research evaluation at faculty and departmental level is analysed in terms of the processes through which an evaluation standard is stipulated and enacted. Three aspects of the interplay of the standard with the local evaluation context are discussed: conflict regulation; activity coordination; and processing of local problems and issues. A 'soft' standard appears as a compromise between different interested parties, which allows for some coordination between loosely coupled actors, and which functions as an open garbage can for departmental problems and issues. The evaluation standard is discussed in relation to local sense-making processes, the introduction of 'managerialism' in academia, and organization development and exploration.

Evaluation as an organizational element has spread across countries and organizational fields. Yet little attention has been paid to the comparative analysis of adoption, construction and implementation processes of evaluation within different organizational fields. The article is based on an empirical study of research evaluation and evaluation of education within the Danish university sector. It conceptualizes and explains similarities and differences in adoption processes and constructed evaluation standards within the two subfields. Three models are used for explaining differences and similarities: a stakeholder model, an institutional field model and an institutional heritage model. The article shows how evaluation as an organizational element is used simultaneously for processes of change and processes of reproduction of norms and values.
