Purpose This paper aims to describe and explain a contemporary phenomenon. Design/methodology/approach This is an analysis of research reports and fiction texts. Findings Universities use mergers and acquisitions to improve their ranking positions, ignoring the effects on research and teaching. Research limitations/implications More attention should be paid to current managerial fashions. Practical implications An opposition to thoughtless fashion following may lead to positive changes. Social implications If you mean “societal implications”, the state of universities is very important to democratic societies. Originality/value These are not for the author to judge.
