近年来，越来越多的重点大学建立了国际分支校区（IBC）。现在有200多个中型散货箱，还有更多的正在开发中。很少有人知道IBC管理人员所面临的独特挑战，他们通常从家乡大学借调，在一个新的陌生环境中建立和运营卫星校园。与此同时，如果IBC失败，国内大学将面临重大的财务和声誉风险。本文报告的结果，定性研究的“生活经验”的IBC经理工作在三个最大的东道国市场的IBC中国，马来西亚和阿拉伯联合酋长国。报告发现，管理者面临的根本挑战是平衡一系列内部和外部利益相关者的竞争需求，并得出结论，大学需要做更多的工作来培养和支持IBC管理者。
In recent years, an increasing number of major universities have set up international branch campuses (IBCs). There are now more than 200 IBCs, with more under development. Little is known about the unique challenges that face IBC managers, who are normally seconded from the home university to set up and operate the satellite campus in a new and alien environment. At the same time, there are significant financial and reputational risks for the home university should an IBC fail. This article reports the results of a qualitative study into the “lived experiences” of IBC managers working in the three largest host markets for IBCs—China, Malaysia, and the United Arab Emirates. It finds that the fundamental challenge for managers is balancing the competing demands of a range of internal and external stakeholders and concludes that universities need to do more to prepare and support IBC managers.
