Global business practicum: the first ten years (in Search for standardization of “collaborative learning” activities in business education and practice)

Internationalization recognizes national boundaries, the uniqueness of individual societies and cultures, and in the face of the forces of globalization, urges international understanding and cooperation. The international dimension can also be explained as a perspective, activity or program which integrates an intercultural outlook into the major functions of a university. The Bologna process forces the European HE institutions to restructure their degrees but the institutions are doing so at different speeds, which is not always easy to follow mainly for non-European's partners. While the current practices are based mainly on access to programs offered by well-known universities, a true internationally-based program is much more adapted to local conditions and needs. What are the models of international university cooperation? Is the “collaborative learning” strategy useful in economics and business education? The Global Business Practicum at Rollins College and the collaboration between Rollins College in the USA and the University of Pula in Croatia provide numerous illustrations of what can be learned about international business by students participating in work-directed projects, and how projects of international cooperation can be evaluated both according to the ECTS and USA grading system’s requirements.
