1.1 Chapter IntroductionThe following chapter will introduce the main focus of the research conducted and provide an overview of the background to the study, the primary focus of the research, and its significance within the field of cross-cultural relationship management within higher education. The term internationalisation is frequently used within higher education, this chapter will introduce the concept of internationalisation within the frame of international partnership development. The aims and objectives of the research will be identified. A summary of the research methodology and research questions will be highlighted.1.2 Background to the studyInternational partnership development has become a prime focus within the higher education sector. The current literature on the topic is fragmented and there is an absence of influential theories explaining the phenomena under study. Many authors have addressed issues surrounding the concept of internationalisation, identifying several myths around internationalisation and reviewing current practices in the global marketplace. The research of key authors in the field will be critically reviewed in the literature review. Knight (2015), and De Wit & Jones (2014) considered areas including barriers and commitment with Borys & Jameson (1989) and Wilson (1995) considering key stages and variables in relationship development and the concepts of risk and the importance of hybrid relationships. De Haan (2014) and Green (2003) explore concepts related to the perceived value of internationalisation in higher education with Bell et al (2014) and Eckel and Hartley (2008) further developing the importance of academic strategic alliances. Turner & Robson (2007) and Van Dijk & Meijer (1997) introduce concepts such as the 'International continuum' and the 'Internationalisation cube' respectively, allowing for clearer self-assessment of institutions' approaches to internationalisation in higher education. Davies (1995) and later Warwick & Moogan (2013) highlight the role of ad hoc developments and how these can differ across institutions. These key areas of research will be critically reviewed to support the development of a conceptual framework for exploration.International strategy development within the higher education sector has been identified as a key component to successful development but very few authors have attempted to address how International developments are conceived when considering cross cultural relationship management within higher education partnerships. Alongside International developments, implementation and relationship maintenance are considered crucial to success. This research will explore the impact in the higher education sector and analyse these concepts.Further to the research based on internationalisation, considerable research has been focused on the nature of cross-cultural relationship management, Hofstede (1980) produced the seminal work on culture with Johanson and Wiedersheim-Paul (1975), Johanson and Vahlne (1977), Wiedersheim-Paul et al. (1978) developing the concept of psychic distance. These areas of research will be critically reviewed in relation to internationalisation in higher education. Some criticisms of the concept have been voiced (O'Grady and Lane, 1996; and Stottinger and Schlegelmilch, 2000) but support is still maintained for the concepts with several key authors (Evans et al. (2000), Conway and Swift (2000 and 2002), Brock and Johnson (2004), Sousa and Bradley (2006), Dow and Karunaratna (2006). Babichenko (2006) agreeing the importance of psychic distance in cross-cultural relationship management. As the linkage to the higher education sector has not been identified, these works will be critically reviewed in relation to the higher education sector in the following literature review chapter.
