Higher education functions in a global environment of consumers, employees, competitors, and partners. It has been a force for globalization and a model for adaptation, but nonetheless faces challenges. This volume of essays examines emerging issues and opportunities for advancing education across borders.The demands upon and need for higher education have never been greater at both the individual and societal levels, and the avenues for pursuing the mission of higher education have greatly expanded due to globalization. This volume examines how strategically minded institutions can better fulfill their mission in a global environment while promoting international collaboration and strengthening the world economy. Chapter authors include prominent senior administrators from higher education and leading researchers on higher education and globalization. They provide new and actionable information to enhance decision making and inform strategic planning as well as a contemporary examination of the business of higher education and areas of potential new research.This book is an excellent resource for academic administrators, as well as for researchers and students in business, management, economics, education, and public sector economics.

‘The book serves as a practical guide on how to go with certain modes of internationalisation of higher education. However, this is more than a mere practical guide. . . though written from a distinctively US perspective, the insights provided by the scholars will be found useful by higher education administrators in other countries as well.’
