Call for Chapters

International Marketing of Higher Education

Editors
Terry Wu, University of Ontario Institute of Technology, Canada
Vik Naidoo, University of Sydney, Australia

We invite academics and practitioners who are interested in the  area of marketing of higher education to submit book chapters for possible publication in the proposed book entitled "International Marketing of Higher Education".  This book is expected to be published in the Fall of 2015 by Palgrave Macmillan

Brief Description


Trade in education services is a fast growing global business following the trend of other service sectors. Estimated at US$65 billion and representing roughly 3% of global services exports (OECD, 2009), trade in education services is a multidimensional phenomena (e.g. the import and export of textbooks, international examinations such as the Graduate Management Aptitude Test (GMAT), etc), although the cross-border migration of international students remains the most visible aspect of this trade (OECD, 2009).



Growth in international student mobility is both demand and supply motivated (Mazzarol and Soutar, 2002). On the demand side, students increasingly view international qualifications as a differentiating asset that tends to command a premium in today’s competitive job market. On the supply side, higher education institutions (HEIs) faced with a decline in public funding, are increasingly compelled to offer their courses to full-fee paying overseas students (Hayes, 2007). These demand and supply dynamics for education services have led to an increasing commercialization of higher education, not just at the domestic level but also globally as HEIs compete to attract overseas students (Allen and Shen, 1999; Kwong, 2000; Binssardi and Ekwulugo, 2003).



This increasing global competition in higher education has led many HEIs to develop international marketing strategies as part of their international student recruitment objectives (Mazzarol and Soutar, 2001; 2008; Hemsley-Brown and Goonawardana, 2007). While previously the focus of education marketing was largely domestically focused, in recent years, there has been an exponential growth in the interest of HEIs in international marketing as they reach out to potential students across their national boundaries. This interest in international marketing has not been limited at an individual institutional level but has also been adopted at a national level in many countries where national governments, realising the export earnings potential of education services, are promoting the benefits of studying in their respective countries. The UK, Australia, New Zealand are some common examples of countries that have adopted a national-international marketing approach to the promotion of education services offshore and increasingly, others are following suit (Naidoo & Wu, 2011).



Against this background of the increasing commercialization  of higher education and the increasing relevance of marketing as applied to higher education services, this book aims to address the paucity of research  that currently exists in this area (Hemsley-Brown & Goonawardana, 2007; Chapleo, 2011). In particular, the book will cover both the theory and applications of marketing higher education in a global environment. It aims to be of relevance to both academic researchers and practitioners such as university administrators as well as government officials interested in formulating strategies/policies for international marketing activities within the higher education sector.



With this perspective in mind, we invite papers that will offer new insights into major markets of higher education and highlight how international marketing is changing the educational discourse in these markets.  Potential topics of interest include, but not limited, to the following topics:



•        Marketing of global Higher Education as a business model

•        Consumer Behaviour theory as applied to Higher Education

•        Global branding in Higher Education

•        Brand alliances in Higher Education

•        Market Segmentation in Higher Education

•        International entry modes in offshore campus developments (e.g. in the Middle East region)

•        Emerging trends on Marketing of Higher Education in major countries of interest to international  students

•        Marketing of Higher Education with a country focus (e.g. US, UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Germany)

•        The role of marketing and its international public policy implications for Higher Education
