Book Description
This book is a compendium of 32 papers, selected through double blind review out of the papers presented for the international conference on "Globalizing Management Education: Issues and Challenges for Industry and Academia", jointly organized by I.T.S. Institute of Management, Greater Noida, India and Institute of Public Enterprise, Hyderabad, India at India Habitat Centre, New Delhi on February 5-6, 2011. While some papers are based on empirical studies, others are conceptual and case based. The papers focus mainly on five broad thematic areas: (i) understanding global management education; (ii) issues and challenges for management education; (iii) role of regulators in management education; (iv) role of private and government institutions in management education and (v) role of industry in management education. The book conveys a clear message that management education has to go the global way in order to grow and survive in the globalized world. It must integrate itself with global culture, global polity and global socio-economic dynamics in order to face the challenges posed by globali-zation. It suggests many strategic means such as development of global faculty, integrative curricula and pedagogy, collaborative research, industry-academia partnership for making management education socially relevant and globally acceptable.

Financing American Higher Education in the Era of Globalization
Author: William Zumeta
Publisher: Harvard Education Press
ISBN: 1612502539
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 385
Book Description
This ambitious book grows out of the realization that a convergence of economic, demographic, and political forces in the early twenty-first century requires a fundamental reexamination of the financing of American higher education. The authors identify and address basic issues and trends that cut across the sectors of higher education, focusing on such questions as how much higher education the country needs for individual opportunity and for economic viability in the future; how responsibility for paying for it is currently allocated; and how financing higher education should be addressed in the future.

Globalization on the Margins
Author: Iveta Silova
Publisher: IAP
ISBN: 1617352020
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 385
Book Description
The essays in Globalization on the Margins explore the continuities and changes in Central Asian education development since the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991. Reflecting on two decades of post-socialist transformations, they reveal that education systems in Central Asia responded to the rapidly changing political, economic, and social environment in profoundly new and unique ways. Some countries moved towards Western models, others went backwards, and still others followed entirely new trajectories. Yet, elements of the “old” system remain. Rather than viewing these post-Soviet transformations in isolation, Globalization on the Margins places its analyses within the global context by reflecting on the interaction between Soviet legacies and global education reform pressures in the Central Asian countries of Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan. Instead of portraying the transition process as the influx of Western ideas into the region, the authors provide new lenses to critically examine the multidirectional flow of ideas, concepts, and reform models within Central Asia. Notwithstanding the variety of theoretical perspectives, methodological approaches, and conceptual lenses, the authors have one thing in common: both individually and collectively, they reveal the complexity and uncertainty of the post-Soviet transformations. By highlighting the political nature of the transformation processes and the uniqueness of historical, political, social, and cultural contexts of each particular country, Globalization on the Margins portrays post-Soviet education transformations as complex, multidimensional, and uncertain processes.
