Sažetak
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 introduces or integrates an international/intercultural/global outlook into the major functions of a university. What are the models and approaches to international university cooperation? What are some of the strategies involved? Is the "collaborative learning" strategy useful in the economics and business education? What kinds of organizational structures are needed? Since the academic year 1999/2000, the Faculty of Economics and Tourism (FET) in Pula, Croatia has actively participated in a global practicum in which students from FET collaborate with students from the graduate school of business of Rollins College. The practicum "Collaborative Student and Faculty Experiential Exchanges" is partially supported by a grant from the Fulbright Foundation. The program consists of two parts: 1) students and faculty from Rollins College travel to Pula to conduct a global business practicum for the Istrian County, and 2) students and faculty from FET travel to Winter Park to study and observe tourism. Winter Park is adjacent to Orlando, one of the world's major tourist attractions and the site of numerous theme parks. The global business practicum at Rollins and the collaboration between Rollins and FET provide numerous illustrations of what can be learned about international business by students participating in work-directed projects. The collaboration also provides insight into the problems facing the Croatian academic community as it attempts to modernize the system of higher education.
