Abstract

This chapter explores and compares the institutional logics of Chinese and Finnish doctoral education systems through on-desk research of secondary data. Findings show that in both Chinese and Finnish doctoral education systems, there are five underlying institutional logics, namely state logic, profession logic, family logic, market logic and corporation logic; however, the differences lie in which of them are more dominant, and how they interact with each other. Findings also indicate that, to a large extent, the logics underlying Finnish and Chinese systems are compatible, and can serve as a solid foundation for developing cooperation between both countries. Based on the findings, we contend that in cooperation practice, stakeholders and practitioners in the cooperation need to be aware of the differences of logics.
