July 4th, 2020 APA (edition "APA 6"), Psychology and Education Comments Off on Internationalization of a Higher Education Institution

Internationalization of a Higher Education Institution

Assume the role of a higher education leader such as President, Chancellor, CEO, or Provost that has just been named to lead an institution (two-year community college or technical institute, four-year college, or university) in an emerging or developing nation. The previous CEO was fired by the board, partly because of leadership style, and a no confidence vote from the faculty. Morale among the faculty and staff is very low. Relationships with the political and economic community have also deteriorated. The governing board now has a major goal for the institution to become more internationalized. How will you lead this institution to achieve its goal?

Write a 1,750- to 2,100-word paper in which you include the following issues and other aspects of institutional climate and culture:

Discuss your definition and concept of internationalization in higher education.
How will you articulate your leadership and management style to work with the internal and external stakeholders to improve moral?
How will you balance the need for institutional development and change with the challenges of those who are resistant to change?
What is at risk if the goal is not well-managed and achieved?
What is your timeline and schedule to achieve the institutional transition?

Cite a minimum of five scholarly sources.

Format your paper according to APA guidelines.

Pros and cons of Non-academic leaders (From Business, Law, Politics, or Medicine)
