Abstract

Strategic Management Education in the Transnational Context

Author(s): Nattavud Pimpa

Strategic management has been growing rapidly, due to ongoing demand for strateguc thinkers from both public and private sectors. When several business schools offer strategic management programs in the transnational education format, it is obviously viewed as a complex site of management (Otten, 2003; Leask, 2008), which is deemed to be distinct from what and how one teaches and learns in home universities (Debowski, 2005; Lamers & Admiraal, 2018). In this paper, we explore learning and teaching experiences of students and instructors in the strategic management education programs from Australia and Singapore. We focus on what they identified as challenges in learning in the transnational context. The analysis confirms that issues related to curriculum, cross-cultural communication, and expectation in learning and teaching are among the key challenges for students in the TNHE program. This paper confirms that quality of the TNHE program will be crated when both host and home institutions co-create equal values for staff and students and exchange them across border.
