This open access book presents deep investigation to the manifold topics pertaining to global university collaboration. It outlines the strategies King Abdulaziz University has employed to rise in global rankings, and the reasons chosen to collaborate with other academic and research institutes. The environment in which universities currently exist is considered, and subsequently how an innovative culture might be established and maintained to enable global partnerships to be implemented and to succeed is discussed. The book provides an intense focus on why collaboration is a necessary ingredient for knowledge transfer and explains how to do it. The last part of the book considers how to sustain partnerships. This is because one of the challenges of global partnerships is not just setting them up, but also sustaining them.

Competitive strategies and higher education-industry collaboration policies are playing a vital role in fostering the reputation and international rankings of higher education institutions. The positive impact of these policies may best be observed in the economic and social outputs of many countries such as the USA, Singapore, South Korea, and European Union (EU) countries such as Belgium, Germany, France, and the Netherlands. However, the number of academic publications that specifically concentrate on the impact of these policies on higher education institutions and authorities remains relatively limited. University-Industry Collaboration Strategies in the Digital Era is an essential research publication that provides comprehensive research on competitive strategies for higher education institutions that will allow them to forge beneficial partnerships with industries that will have a significant impact on their success. Highlighting a wide range of topics such as human resource management, network planning, and institutional structure, this book is ideal for administrators, education professionals, academicians, researchers, policymakers, and students.

This study provides data specific to successful interinstitutional collaboration between two-year and four-year higher education institutions. The purpose of this study was to determine whether a collaboration success measurement model could be created for higher education institutions to use as a guide when developing, interacting in, and assessing their interinstitutional collaborations.

There is a high interest in developing international collaborations in higher education as demonstrated by the immense participation of higher education institutions in international conferences, the boom of international joint publications and the great appeal that international education has gained around the world. However, there is also confusion on why and how to develop these collaborations. The literature that informs international collaboration in higher education is disarticulated and therefore confusing. The current study aimed to provide guidance to higher education institutions and their stakeholders on their interests on developing such collaborations by integrating the literature and providing a cohesive theoretical framework or taxonomy to understand international collaboration in higher education. The study also wanted to provide a practical demonstration of its limitations and extremes, as well as the skills needed to manage such collaborations. First, on developing a theoretical framework, the study begins with an exploration of the literature that informs international collaborations in higher education. Next, the study connects the literature by exploring the practice of developing international collaborations at a comprehensive research institution. This connection was reached by proposing the classification of international collaborations in three well distinguished types of collaboration, clients, partners, and friends, and by proposing a chain of reasoning that connects the challenges of developing international collaboration at a comprehensive research university. Having three types of collaboration and a chain of reasoning that integrates the different challenges of developing collaborations allowed the development of a comprehensive framework to understand international collaborations in higher education. Second, by providing a practical demonstration, the study presents the limitations on developing these international collaborations, the skills required for developing those collaborations, the compartmentalization and the repurposing of international collaborative relations, and the negative extremes and mistakes of developing international collaborations in higher education. These findings are derived from a case study of a comprehensive research university. Conditions at other higher education institutions might differ. However, the analytical explanations proposed by the study are general enough to support their extrapolation to other settings in order to contribute to facilitate the development of international collaborations in higher education.

Collaboration in Higher Education, an open access book, focuses on the opportunities and challenges created by engaging in collaboration and partnership in higher education. As higher education institutions become ever more competitive to sustain their place in a global, neoliberal education market, students and staff are confronted with alienating practices. Such practices create an individualistic, audit and surveillance culture that is exacerbated by the recent COVID-19 pandemic and the wholesale 'pivot' to online teaching. In this atomised and competitive climate, this volume synthesises theoretical perspectives and current practice to present case study examples that advocate for a more inclusive, cooperative, collaborative, compassionate and empowering education, one that sees learning and teaching as a practice that enables personal, collective and societal growth. The human element of education is at the core of this book, focusing on what we can do and achieve together: students, academic staff, higher education institutions and relevant stakeholders.

This book explains why conflict between the institutional and human agencies is an unavoidable outcome of competing local, national and global agendas at a major research university. It illustrates this by means of a case-study of Glonacal U, a university which belongs to the category of exceptional institutions that excel due to an established organizational culture of academic freedom, research excellence, shared governance, and intellectual leadership. The book shows how such a university may succumb to anxiety when neoliberal managers seek to exploit stakeholder doubts about university sufficiency, relevance, and performance in national and global markets and hierarchies of knowledge products and status goods. As top-down pressure for strategic choices in scientific partnerships increases at the world-class university, grassroots resistance to centralization increases also in order to remind the research university leaders that intellectual work and academic freedom are interdependent and central to building capacities for impactful global science. Productive global linkages are prerogative of academics who take full responsibility for success of project implementation and outcomes in scholarship and practice.

For the past 25 years UK Higher Education institutions have forged research and teaching partnerships with their counterparts overseas. Many of these links were funded by the British Government and managed by the British Council’s Higher Education Links Scheme. This book takes an informed and critical look at issues and trends in global higher education over the past twenty five years with an in-depth and often personal account of how these links were managed and led. Ten experts representing a variety of disciplines from areas such as conserving the natural environment, the promotion of human rights, and education and gender present an ‘insider’s’ view of their link, reflecting upon the successes and challenges in promoting research, developing institutional capacity at home and abroad, and the lessons they have learned. This book will be of particular interest to those working in higher education and international development generally; as well as students, researchers and professionals engaged in bilateral and multi-lateral development assistance programmes.
