Rules of the Game in Academia
Academia is deemed to follow rules and precepts that are recognized universally. However, in a changeable organizational environment with often diffuse or contradictory requirements, 'hidden agendas' and a micropolitical 'culture of negotiation' thrive. Here implicit values and norms are conveyed - often unconsciously – and reflected in power relations, in strategic actions and thus also in selection processes. This affects women researchers in particular.
On the path to a scientific career, knowledge must be acquired that is not explicitly communicated anywhere and for which there are no sources to be looked up. Exclusion mechanisms are often subliminal. Understanding decision making in the systemic and organizational context and unwritten rules of micropolitical action can promote one's own strategic competence.
