- Abstract / Summary
- By Mark Peterson. Internationalization is one of the most valuable processes a business faculty member could undergo in a career because the faculty member can experientially participate in the most influential macro-environmental trend of this age – globalization (Friedman 2000). This article highlights the challenges facing business educators seeking internationalization and offers the author’s experience as a guide to those beginning their careers as educators, as well as to those with more experience. Such insights are organized in three categories: 1) the process of increasing internationalization for a faculty member, 2) succeeding as a teacher overseas, and 3) succeeding as a learner overseas. The most enduring benefits of internationalization for many will likely be gaining a valuable perspective on one’s own culture and an appreciation for twenty-first century business challenges.
