Continuity of Inter-Organization Collaboration

This study was carried out at Tilburg University, the Netherlands and was nominated for the Best Paper Prize in 2012. It provides valuable management information to universities regarding student-exchange collaborations. It also presents policy implications to institution regulators to guide and facilitate healthy international student mobility among institutions of higher education. With a greater understanding of the state-of-the-art overview on student-exchange collaborations between universities, this study objectively helps these decision-makers and stakeholders realize some problems and side effects of their current approach in relation management, which (potentially) hinder the performance of intercontinental student-exchange activities. The study assists the introduction and adjustment of critical policies and programs in order to optimize the guidance and facilitation to universities on real international student mobility.
