Policies and Strategies in Internationalizing the Hospitality Education in Taiwan
Abstract
This study presents a case study of internationalization processes currently underway in a
public hospitality-specialized vocational university in Taiwan. The main purpose is to explore
ways in which internationalization has evolved over time, and to learn what strategies the
school has adopted to make it successful. In addition, challenges in internationalization that
the school faces are identified. Three themes in internationalization are analyzed: (1)
Institutional strategies of internationalization; (2) Cooperation and competition; (3) Mobility
of students and academic staff. An in-depth critical analysis of this case allows for
recommendations regarding institutional governance and operations in internationalization
initiatives.
