Abstract

The paper discusses the dynamics and development phases of the University of Maribor, the second-largest public university in Slovenia. Founded in 1975, the University has evolved by merging several higher education institutions. The aim of this paper is to analyse the university’s life cycle, crises, and development phases using the theoretical frameworks proposed by Wheelen et al. (2017), Pümpin and Prange (1995), and Kropfberger (1999). The paper uses a case study methodology to present the institution’s governance dynamics, crisis management strategies, and measures to increase its dynamism. The paper also proposes recommendations to enhance the dynamism of the university, including normative policies, strategic management initiatives, and operational measures.
