Globalization of Faculty,Students, and Programs

ABSTRACT

The objective of this paper is to develop a comprehensive approach to globalization of the educational effort in business colleges that is meaningful within the context of available resources and public funding. More specifically, the objective is to inventory approaches that have been used in the past to produce successful results and introduce new approaches more suitable to present needs. This strategy proposes that a successful globalization effort relies on three fundamental concepts: (1) strong commitment from the administration on all levels of the university; (2) strong leadership from faculty to develop, operationalize, and manage the globalization effort; and (3) clear encouragement of interested students and commitment from administration and faculty that they will benefit from their participation in the globalization effort of the university.
