During the post-World War II era, most U.S. colleges and universities began to promote diversity and internationalization ideals. However, the extent to which U.S. higher education institutions have been successful in achieving diversity, especially in relation to stimulating diverse social interactions between the international and American student body, is an area of study that requires further investigation. The purpose of this study was to examine international graduate students' perceptions of diversity efforts at a specific U.S. higher education institution, and how these perceptions influenced their social interaction choices and practices while pursuing their degrees at the institution. A qualitative methodology was conducted with 60 participants from 26 different countries. Bas...

Recent debates about American jobs lost to Mexico, illegal Mexican immigrants, plant closings and machiladora plants on the border of Mexico and the U.S. would suggest to the uninformed reader that NAFTA is a bilateral trade agreement. Forgotten amongst the hoopla about Mexican-American trade relations is the fact that Canada remains the largest single trading partner of the U.S. Ironically, in spite of its importance to the American economy, very few studies have addressed Canada as a relevant topic in undergraduate or graduate business programs.

The world increasingly has a global economy. The demand for public relations practitioners who understand and can communicate effectively in this global economy is also rapidly increasing. This qualitative study examines the perceptions of educators and practitioners who self-identify themselves with "international public relations." It explores the perceptions of utility and importance of various components of education and training among these educators and practitioners through in-depth interviews. Specialists perceive an international PR curriculum to be highly important for students; they maintain that international training lends great credence and utility on the job. Unfortunately, due to low faculty numbers, accreditation policies, and other identified constraints, international...

This paper is about ideas and views of professionals in the field of academic administrative leadership. It is concerned about general philosophical positions of faculty members and administrators concerning students' general education, information, intelligence, communication, and critical thinking abilities. In addition, it analyzes the main objectives of higher educational leadership models within the boundaries of democracy and multiculturacy in relationships with the interest of stakeholders. Within this domain of thinking, this paper is fully devoted to a comparative study of two types academic leaderships: (1) kakistocracy and (2) bureaucracy. Kakistocracy means "government by the worst administrators and/or management by the least able and disqualified figureheads." Within the n...
