| Summary: | Governments all over the world generally recognise the important role that higher education
(HE) plays in meeting the challenges borne by globalisation. Australia, Europe, Singapore,
Malaysia, Saudi Arabia and Dubai have all recognised the importance of internationalisation of
HE and universities are turning towards franchising due to increased financial pressure, higher
autonomy and an increasingly competitive market. As part of its efforts to widen access to
education, OUM has ventured overseas and is currently working with many overseas partners
and collaborators. This research focuses on the OUM Business School (OUMBS) which
currently offers its programmes overseas through various collaborative partners. The case in
hand focuses on the international collaborative partnership between OUMBS and Ho Chi Minh
University of Technology (HUTECH) and discusses the current experiences faced by the two
partners. Findings from the case highlight the advantages and disadvantages of a collaborative
partnership plus the lessons that could be learnt. (Abstract by authors)
