German Universities face far-reaching transformations stemming from changes in their environment as well as from new strategic goals within the universities. As a consequence, new fields of competition emerge. Thus, universities struggle to align their behavior and communication with the expectations of their external audiences.

Based upon exploratory empirical investigation of external images and image building processes within different stakeholder groups, an instrument for image analysis and stakeholder identification is developed and tested at Technische Universität München.
