  • Relying on Agile Management to Develop an International Exchange and Dual Degree Program and Navigate the COVID-19 Pandemic
    International Research and Review, Journal of Phi Beta Delta Honor Society Volume 9, Number 2, Spring 2020 for International Scholars Relying on Agile Management to Develop an International Exchange and Dual Degree Program and Navigate the COVID-19 Pandemic Weiwen Liao, PhD, Elizabeth Prejean, DBA, Carmella Parker, Esq./MBA Northwestern State University, Louisiana Abstract This article identifies the value and practices of agile management in business and higher education and provides a possible agile management framework for universities to utilize while trying to navigate developing international exchange and dual degree program opportunities during the COVID-19 pandemic. The framework relies upon agile management practices gleaned and shaped at a school of business of a regional university and modifies the process to fit these turbulent times. The article provides an example of a four-step agile process in this School of Business which followed “the Law of the Customer,” “the Law of the Small Team,” and “the Law of the Network” to develop an international exchange and dual degree program. Additionally, the article reviews the students’ feedback to measure the program’s impact on their education, life, or cultural experiences. This agile process can be implemented by other universities to develop their international education programs, especially in light of the global health crisis that is gripping the world at this moment. Keywords: COVID-19; agile management; international education; exchange program; dual degree program COVID-19 and its Impact on International Education As coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) marches across the globe, every industry has been impacted in some significant and tangible way.
