Internationalization of Business Curriculum: Global Competence and Global Citizenship
Elisabeth Dellegrazie
ProQuest LLC, Ph.D. Dissertation, Concordia University Chicago
Globalization and the internationalization of higher education bring together complex issues that have led to uncertainty in navigating the internationalization of business curricula in an effort to educate global business leaders. The relationship between internationalized business curricula and its link to the development of global competence and global citizenship has not yet been clarified. The purpose of this non-experimental, correlation study is to explore the cognitive, intrapersonal, and interpersonal development of global competence levels among Chinese undergraduate business students in an international program and determine if these three domains within global competence are significant predictors of global citizenship. The random sample for the study was taken from a total population size of 800 undergraduate business students enrolled in an international program at International Education Business University (IEBU) within the People's Republic of China. I am using IEBU as a pseudonym to ensure the anonymity of the participants. The Data were collected using the Qualtrics® XM online survey platform. The study consisted of a three-part survey including demographic characteristics, the Global Perspective Inventory (GPI), and the Global Citizenship Identification Model (GCI). The research methodology included a causal comparative analysis using a t-test between independent samples with an alpha level at 0.05. The Cohen's d will be performed if any significant differences are found between freshman students versus senior students with regards to the mean scores of the three Global Perspective Inventory (GPI) domains (i.e., cognitive, interpersonal, and intrapersonal). A multiple regression analysis explored the predictive capability of three different global competence domains, controlling for gender and academic year, to determine the variance in global citizenship among Chinese undergraduate business students.
