该研究小组的总体目标是在社会学、经济学和企业管理的基础上，全面了解高等教育领域的多重竞争。高等教育中的多重竞争意味着个体和集体行为者同时嵌入并嵌套在几个相互关联的竞争中。这些个体竞争之间的关系导致了一个复杂的需求网络，这是参与者必须面对的。因此，这个跨学科的研究小组试图回答以下问题：当面临多重竞争时，演员如何定位自己？多重竞争会带来什么动态以及什么后果？为了回答这些问题，研究小组的每个子项目都旨在分析多重竞争的一组特定特征以及这些不同竞争之间的相互关系。通过将不同子项目的结果联系在一起，研究小组作为一个整体将能够绘制一幅全面的图景，并发展出高等教育中的多元竞争理论。由于竞争作为治理机制被广泛使用，这种理论理解不仅对于高等教育领域，而且对于分析不存在全面评价和价格体系的其他社会领域都具有重要意义。此外，我们期待高等教育政策和资金的相关结果。

The overall objective of this research group is to develop a comprehensive understanding of multiple competition in the field of higher education, based on contributions from sociology, economics and business administration. Multiple competition in higher education means that individual and collective actors are simultaneously embedded in and nested within several interconnected competitions. The relationship between these individual competitions leads to a complex netting of requirements, which actors have to face. This interdisciplinary research group, therefore, attempts to answer the following questions: How do actors position themselves when facing multiple competition? What dynamics unfold and what consequences result from multiple competition? To answer these questions, each subproject within the research group aims at analyzing a specific set of characteristics of multiple competition as well as the interrelations between these different competitions. By linking together the results from different subprojects, the research group as a whole will be able to draw a comprehensive picture and develop a theory of multiple competition in higher education. Given the broad usage of competition as a governance mechanism, such a theoretical understanding will be of high importance not only for higher education as a field, but also for the analysis of other areas of society, where no overall evaluation and price system exists. In addition, we expect relevant results for higher education policy and funding.
