  • Higher Education Revolutions in the Gulf
    Higher Education Revolutions in the Gulf Over the past quarter century, the people of the Arabian Peninsula have wit- nessed a revolutionary transformation in higher education. In 1990, there were fewer than ten public universities that offered their Arabic- language curricula in sex- segregated settings to national citizens only. In 2015, there are hundreds of public, semi-public and private colleges and universities. Most of these institu- tions are open to expatriates and national citizens; a few offer gender- integrated instruction; and the language of instruction is much more likely to be in English than Arabic. Higher Education Revolutions in the Gulf explores the reasons behind this dramatic growth. It examines the causes of the sharp shift in educational prac- tices and analyses how these new systems of higher education are regulated, evaluating the extent to which the new universities and colleges are improving quality. Questioning whether these educational changes can be sustained, the book explores how the new curricula and language policies are aligned with offi- cial visions of the future. Written by leading scholars in the field, it draws upon their considerable experiences of teaching and doing research in the Arabian Gulf, as well as their different disciplinary backgrounds (linguistics and eco- nomics), to provide a holistic and historically informed account of the emer- gence and viability of the Arabian Peninsula’s higher education revolutions. Offering a comprehensive, critical assessment of education in the Gulf Arab states, this book represents a significant contribution to the field and will be of interest to students and scholars of Middle East and Gulf Studies, and essential for those focused on higher education.

Kennedy School of Government Harvard University 2009 American- AnD French-AffiliateD UnIversitieS In the Middle East as ‘InFormation AnD reSoUrCe BridgeS’ To the West | 1 American- AnD French-AffiliateD UnIversitieS In the Middle East as ‘InFormation AnD reSoUrCe BridgeS’ To the West | 1 The history of American- and French-origin universities in the Middle East is prominent and revealing. During the past 15 or so years, mainly Ameri- can-affiliated universities have appeared in large numbers in the Gulf states and elsewhere in the Middle East. Research into both types of universities shows that these educational institutions play an important role as ‘information and resource bridges’ between the Middle East and the West. These universities raise awareness and function as repositories for considerable amounts of knowledge, elite-level human resources, as well as financial resources. Important developments have oc- curred between the time the older universities were established and the newer ones, such as decolonization and empowerment of the host societies in the Middle East, which have placed the control and initiative largely in local hands. Universities are, therefore, very efficient instruments for countries to build strong ties to outside societies, share information, raise mutual awareness, exchange elite-level human resources and—perhaps to a lesser extent today—raise financial resources for edu- cation, research and health care.

    Journal of International Education Research – Third Quarter 2011 Volume 7, Number 3 Internationalization Of Higher Education: A Reflection On Success And Failures Among Foreign Universities In The United Arab Emirates Sepideh Mahani, Higher Colleges of Technology, Abu Dhabi Women’s College, United Arab Emirates Arman Molki, The Petroleum Institute, United Arab Emirates ABSTRACT Globalization has affected many sectors of the society, including higher education. In the current global economy, higher education institutions face numerous challenges. Factors such as the increasing international competition, achieving higher ranking among global universities, and the pursuit of creating world-class institutions has had a significant impact on higher education institutions. While universities respond to these challenges differently, some higher education institutions are increasingly moving toward the internationalization of their campuses. Internationalization of higher education programs includes branch campuses, cross border collaborative programs, exchange of international students, and establishment of English-medium programs and degrees. Over the past decade, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) has been on the receiving line of this phenomena. Internationalization of higher education has greatly affected the UAE as it continues to strive toward becoming a leading education hub in the Middle East. Until recently, the goal of the UAE has been to make higher education accessible to all students within the UAE by providing them with quality learning resources. However, over the past several years, in addition to providing its citizens with quality education, the country is working toward establishing itself as a world-class regional education hub through inviting prominent universities to set up campuses in the country. This paper examines the current trends in internationalization of higher education and analyzes the recent successes and some unanticipated outcomes of this phenomenon in the UAE.

Similarly, Dubai’s reputation as a regional hub for good-quality higher education is growing amongst the business community and aspiring tertiary students. With the addition of new institutes in 2011, Dubai now has the highest number of international branch campuses in the world. We also have the largest and most diverse group of faculty members and transnational students. Such a diversity offers the potential for a unique student experience that opens the door for links into global networks. Our student population has grown steadily over the past four years, including right through the economic downturn. Over the past year, numbers of student enrolments grew by a further 10%. Particularly pleasing is the growth in the numbers of Emirati students across the full range of courses and institutions.

This paper explores how RFID can impact traditional business models or create new ones. In particular, we propose an RFID business model framework and use it to show how value can be created for organizations, suppliers, customers, and business partners. We also identify the major dynamic phases of RFID and their corresponding impact on RFID business models. A taxonomy of 12 specific RFID business models is also presented, reflecting the wide spectrum of potential directions and applications of the technology.
