In the late 1990's, higher education management system has made great progress with the gradual development of China's Market Economics System and transformation of government's functions. Directed by "Eight-word Policy"---"co-construction, adjustment, co-operation, combination" and in the way of " adjustment, combination", three hundred and eight-five colleges are combined into 164 colleges, decreasing 122 clear from 1996 to 2001.The kind of widespread college combination has grasped wide-ranging notice and argument in all walks of life. Especially after 2000, a number of large multi-campus universities have mushroomed, which really gives a big shock to the field of higher education. During these years, many pursuers in the fields of higher education and university management have published so many research papers on university combination, amalgamation and management, which offers development and amalgamation of university combination valuable theoretical instruction and provides good opinions to the further development of university management system. But, on the whole, these researches of thoroughgoing problems on China's university combination lack intrinsic depth, breadth and system.The paper takes Wuhan University of Technology as a typical example and does more complete, systematic, theoretic and factual research. I collect relative works and material widely, absorb and draw lessons from related achievements and ideas in this field, take proper examples and do theoretical and practical research in order to master inner and outer reasons and incompatibility of management in the course of university combination between 20th century and 21st century. Then, I think over many problems, such as multi-campus management and effect evaluation, during the course of university combination and amalgamation and try my best to achieve more systematical research achievements and merge my own analyses, appraisals, viewpoints and suggestions based on the above point. The paper is divided into 7 chapters:Chapter 1 is Introduction, illustrating the reasons, research way and methods about the topic, summarizing theoretical research achievements and different arguments available, identifying definitions related to the topics and make necessary preparations for the later arguments.In Chapter 2, I illustrate the background characteristic, motivation, historical development, circumstance and classifications of university combination, which provides clear perspective, historical and realistic recognition to the later topics and further research. At the same time, I analyze positive and negative features of university combination dialectally.In Chapter 3, I take Wuhan University of Technology as a typical example, illustrate its achievements of combination, amalgamation and management, compare the change before combination and after combination and analyze the experience and problems during the course of university amalgamation. This chapter can provide enough information to the presentation of the whole treatise and standpoints.In Chapter 4, the development of university combination and amalgamation can be divided into three classifications: surface amalgamation, middle amalgamation and inner amalgamation. I analyze the relationship among these three classifications and announce the key factors of university amalgamation.In Chapter 5, I explain the concepts and tactics of university amalgamation in the view of management and emphasize that development is the basis and security of amalgamation, characteristic creates advantage, development furthers amalgamation, amalgamation aims to development, and amalgamation can be solved in the course of development. In my opinion, reconstruction of new-quality culture in multi-campus combined universities and heightening direction and management of informal organization groups are important management tactics for speeding amalgamation.In Chapter 6, this part deals with management transformation and patterns of multi-campus combined universities, including theo...
