    The internationalisation of higher education in Australia: management and strategy options for faculties of education
    Manning, Karen ( 1998)
    Internationalisation is becoming an increasingly important issue in the field of higher education in many universities. The aim of the research is to examine the management approaches used by higher education institutions in Australia in relation to the process of integrating the international dimension into the primary functions of an institution of higher education. This research has considered the ways in which institutions are accommodating, through their own planning and development processes, the growing demand for a greater international view, taking in both the range of international activities and the elaboration and/or reformulation of the fundamental missions of teaching, research and service. While the need for and benefits of internationalising are gaining increased recognition, the mechanisms needed to ensure that the elements of internationalisation are integrated, institutionalised, and treated as a core activity of the institutions are still to be explored. It should be recognised that approaches or strategies will differ according to the particular settings and circumstances as well as profiles of individual institutions. This research, however, aims to identify distinct broad models or common approaches being adopted by best practice higher education institutions in Australia, and so construct a strategic framework for internationalisation. Thus 'strategic framework', for the purpose of this study, comprise those strategic commitments which guide the institution's international orientations for the future.
