Towards a Model of Theoiy and Practice The strategic management of intern ationalization - towards a model of theoiy and practice by Romuald Edward John Rudzki NEWCASTLE UNIVERSITY LIBRARY 098 50607 6 S L b 7-29 A thesis submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the School of Education, University of Newcastle upon Tyne, United Kingdom March 1998 2 Declaration I certify that all material in this thesis which is not my own work has been identified and that no material is included which has been submitted for any other award or qualification. , . Romuald E J Rudzki March 1998 Acknowledgements An aside The monumental undertaking that is a part-time research degree could justifiably be included as one of the labours of Hercules, in that it makes such demands upon the individual (together with relatives and friends), that its completion is indeed 'a consummation devoutly to be wished'. By way of illustration to those who may not realise the extent of the labours, I offer the following examples. The physical demands from the restless nights as churning thoughts prevent sleep, to the endless hours of reading and searching for texts in badly-lit, overcrowded, overheated libraries, followed by the writing and revising with a concentration that denies the physical requirements of food, drink and even more fundamental bodily requirements. The mental exercise of constantly changing what is known about the subject and those rare meta-leaps as new insights and understandings are reached. The emotional highs and lows from the elation at having work accepted for publication and the joy of meeting other researchers, to the despair when better-funded and larger research teams - who started later - produce more comprehensive results in a shorter time, leaving one with the feeling that one is battling against ignorance with a pointed stick while others have a guided missile. Finally the spiritual demands of questioning the purpose and value of a research degree to one's life and work, and the need to draw upon inner reserves especially during the silent watches of the night when the clatter of the keyboard is all there is in the world. I would therefore like to thank the following people who have shared parts of my journey, and made the travelling possible and considerably easier: Dr Madeleine J. Atkins who as my Supervisor has provided outstanding help and support throughout my period of study, thereby ensuring that this thesis has been much improved. The regular meetings held between us have always been a pleasure to attend, and her clarity of thought and willingness to allow me the intellectual space in which to learn have been of great benefit. 4 The many students and staff who were interviewed in the case studies and who responded to the postal questionnaire, together with colleagues across higher education globally whose views and discussions - especially at conferences - have been stimulating and a cause for reflection. I would especially like to thank Els van der Werf of the Hanzehogeschool Groningen for helping me to understand the Dutch Higher Education system and for vital help in the fieldwork. Also, Sylvia van de Bunt-Kokhuis of the University of Tilburg in the Netherlands, whose researches in the academic mobility of scholars and in other areas related to my own studies have been like watching another ship upon the far ocean. In addition, Eva Carnestedt of the Australian Universities Centre in Stockholm, Sweden, who has flattered my ego enormously by using my methodology in her own research and who has extended it in a creative and fruitful direction. Ceridwyn Bessant for being a true friend as well as my professional mentor, and for having the courage to argue with me even when this has seemed completely futile. Alison - my wife, for being generally wonderful, for keeping me fed and watered and for staying out of the way when I was working on the dining-room table. My computer, which although not without its viral illnesses has made the drafting, revision and final production of this thesis a much easier task than that undertaken by previous generations of students without access to such technology. Finally, and most of all, I would like to thank and dedicate this work to my parents - Antoni and Janina Rudzki - who I hope will see in it the realization of possibilities denied them by the consequences of the Second World War and a vindication of their belief in the intrinsic value of education. This belief is one which they have passed onto me and which remains a great and lasting treasure. 5 Abstract The research is concerned with examining the process of internationalization within higher education and specifically within UK Business Schools. The fieldwork includes the first ever national survey of such institutions conducted in 1992 and was followed by detailed case studies of two institutions - one in the UK and the other in the Netherlands, both of which included staff and student interviews. The findings examined the existence ofpolicies and strategies, as well as criticalfactors for success, reasons for fai lure, obstacles and probable future directions. The results show that internationalization within the UK is taking place in a variety of ways, with little or no consideration of the strategic management of the process and is driven both by the need to increase fees from overseas students and to attract external funding such as that available from the European Commission. The thesis goes on to provide a fractal process model of internationalization which can be equally used by individual academics, as well as departments, faculties, institutions, national .systems of education or for transnational organizations. The model is located within a conceptualframework developed using the methodology of grounded theory. The thesis concludes with an examination ofpossible future trends within higher education before returning tofirstprincples in the form of a re-examination of the reasons for internationalization. 6 Contents Chapter Page Title page 1 Declaration 2 Acknowledgements 3 Abstract 6 Contents 6 List of Appendices 11 List of Tables and Figures 12 1.

  • Lilley the Parish of Lilley Lies on the Western Edge of North Hertfordshire, Mostly North of the A505
    Lilley The parish of Lilley lies on the western edge of North Hertfordshire, mostly north of the A505. Its northern boundary follows the early medieval line of the Icknield Way, and it abuts Bedfordshire to the west. Part of the parish once included Mangrove Green, now in Offley. Three areas now in Lilley, one stretching from the eastern edge of Ward’s Wood in the west to Kingshill Plantation in the east, the second from west of Lilleypark Wood to the boundary wall of Putteridge Bury and a third to the east of Dogkennel Farm, were formerly part of Offley (Figure 1 and Figure 7). How this complex arrangement came into being is unclear and will be explored later. Figure 1: the parish of Lilley: areas shaded lilac were formerly in Offley (© The Ordnance Survey) Placenames Lilley is first recorded in Domesday Book, compiled in 1086, like so many places in North Hertfordshire. There, it is called Linleia, and forms with initial Lin- or Lyn- are recorded up to the sixteenth century. The current spelling was first recorded in 1275 and was dominant by the fifteenth 1 century. The most obvious derivation is from Old English līn, ‘flax’, and lēah, ‘a woodland clearing’ or ‘meadow’. However, the English Place-Name Society believed that the parish is too exposed for flax growing to be possible. The Society suggested as an alternative that the first element might be lind, ‘a lime tree’ (Tilia sp.), but no early spellings beginning Lind- are known. Nonetheless, The National Biodiversity Network Atlas shows that flax currently grows wild in the parish and especially to its north and west (Figure 2).
