| description | Private higher education in Malaysia has undergone radical transformations with the aim of becoming
a regional hub for higher education in Southeast Asia, and to transform the country into one that has
a fully developed knowledge-based economy. To understand this transformation, the purposes of this
chapter are to identify key prospects and challenges of international branch campuses (IBCs) and propose
strategic alignment on the operation and administration of the IBCs in Malaysia. In order to identify and
understand the challenges IBCs face when operating in Malaysia, this study adopts a review approach
that is supported by findings and from academic and grey literature. The results of this review indicate
that IBCs are faced with complex challenges and are on unequal footing with other local universities.
This chapter uncovers various demanding issues and discusses strategic alignment of IBCs. Limitations
and recommendations for future research are also incorporated in this chapter. |
