Unpacking Theoretical Perspectives of Family-Owned School Towards Internationalization

Abstract

Unpacking the perspective of family-owned schools towards the concepts of internationalization is a study that seeks to check if internationalization is an acceptable undertaking for school owners, top management, and middle management relevant to the school's operational viability and sustainability. The motivation behind unpacking is that each school has the potential to participate in the internationalization of higher education. This is examined by determining theoretical perspectives of family-owned school leaders on the concept, strategies, and the role of school leasers. Using a hybrid questionnaire that are products of previous studies, coupled with interview, and the appropriate statistical methods produced by SPSS, this study has shown that the concepts, strategies and leadership of internationalization is doable, and it has identified strategic planning, leaders' knowledge, and experience as a key factor in a successful transition.
