Abstract

Higher education institutions throughout the world are undergoing considerable functional and structural changes as they adapt to meet the needs of a global and knowledge-based economy. There is an urgent call for them to be equipped with an well-defined and implanted globalization strategy to tap and provide useful and simple planning tools to utilize global resources effectively. In this sense, this paper seeks to investigate the problem of how and why HAN University of Applied Sciences (The Netherlands) and Bucharest University of Economic Studies (Romania) have responded to globalization within the context of their strategic planning and their local, regional, national and global roles and responsibilities. It seeks to document how these aspects of globalization are perceived by the both universities faculty and higher management. The paper traces the chosen universities recent development and seeks to account for this in terms of their institutional strategic planning.
