The process of conveying the idea will face challenges and conflicts such as opposition to the idea of merging universities. Conflict can be a functional and dysfunctional role in the organization, depending on how the organization is able to manage the conflict and use appropriate conflict management strategies. The research was conducted at one of the private universities in Bandung that has combined four academies to form the University. This research uses a qualitative approach case study. The results of this study indicate that the foundation has an important role during the merging process, the foundation selects direct leaders (Rector of the University) from external parties to facilitate the process of forming a new culture, then the Foundation manages the conflict using a compromise strategy and collaboration to all academic communities so that conflicts arise functional role and improve post-merge University performance.

Abstrak: Penggabungan sekolah tinggi menjadi universitas adalah salah satu cara untuk me­lakukan efektifitas dan efisiensi yayasan sebagai penyelenggara pendidikan. Proses menyampaikan ide akan menghadapi tantangan dan konflik seperti oposisi terhadap gagasan menggabungkan universitas.
