| GLOBALISATION AND MANAGEMENT EDUCATION: AN OVERSEAS CHINESE STUDENT-BASED STUDY IN MALAYSIA David Pollard Issue 27 (Vol. 14, No. 1), June 2004, pp. 3-20. In recent years the growing globalisation of business has forced universities to develop strategies for their participation in the global education marketplace. The effectiveness knowledge transfer has been subject to wide debate, however. The present research examines this trend in the context of programme provision and collaborative arrangements as they affect students, faculty and collaborative arrangements in delivering a programme of undergraduate business education in Malaysia. Following a review of the literature, the paper reports a survey conducted with approximately 100 students of Chinese origin. Focussing on overseas Chinese students provides interesting insights into an area that has been largely neglected in the literature. The research poses some interesting conclusions associated with cultural and institutional dimensions of management learning, curriculum and delivery in a particular overseas Chinese business context. |
