“…Firms determine their KS level by the perceived benefits of information exchange, AC and dependence and collaboration among partners to achieve a sustainable competitive advantage [6,23,30]. In this line, Shih et al [5] indicate that KS is the capability to identify market opportunities through the business partner's information [45].…”

“…Therefore, if firms succeed in implementing stronger internal and external Human Resource Management (HRM) mechanisms at different levels of analysis (individual, organizational, and inter-organizational), they may acquire important sources for developing inter-organizational KS, which can be considered a new dynamic and changing capability obtained from two important internal and external HRM variables: AC and a CHRMS. KS can help to obtain and share new resources, information, projects, and products, or improve existing ones, or even for firms to obtain more sustainable results that contribute to the three objectives of sustainable development (economic, social and environmental growth) [6].…”

This research examines how internal and external Human Resource Management (HRM) contributes to Knowledge Sharing (KS) in order to reach Sustainability-Oriented Performance. This paper uses a mixed methods approach to report on the main antecedents of KS for Sustainability-Oriented Performance. There are many antecedents of KS both inside and outside organizations that are as yet unidentified. This research applies two complex statistical techniques, namely, structural equation modeling (SEM) (Study 1) and fuzzy-set Qualitative Comparative Analysis (fsQCA) (Study 2). First, SEM is used to determine the antecedents of KS for Sustainability-Oriented Performance: Affective Commitment (AC) (an internal dimension of HRM) and a collaboration-oriented Human Resource Management system (CHRMS) (an external dimension of HRM). Second, three multi-group SEMs are used to determine whether a manager’s characteristics (age and gender) and firm size moderate the relationship between KS and its antecedents. Finally, an fsQCA is conducted to identify alternative configurations that lead either to KS or to its absence. The sample comprises data from an online survey of 367 certified innovative Portuguese small and medium enterprises (SMEs). The SEM results show that a collaboration-oriented HRM system always has a positive effect on KS for Sustainability-Oriented Performance. In addition, if the manager is a young man working in a small firm, their AC positively affects KS. There are alternative configurations that lead to the presence or absence of KS. There is, therefore, empirical evidence for the moderating effects of the manager’s age and gender, and firm size. Our study offers improved new HRM configurations and results when compared to the sole use of traditional quantitative statistical methods. The results are consistent and conclusive.

“…The underlying principle of internationalization of HE is to create prominent social and cultural networks (Lewkowicz, Young, Budryté , & Boykin, 2018), improve economic development (Altbach, 2005), share knowledge (Bhatti, Larimo, & Carrasco, 2016), and contribute to an inclusive, caring, affluent, and multinational world (Rensburg, Motala, & David, 2015). Nevertheless, notwithstanding the significance of internationalization in HE, current researches on the topic are primarily done by occasional researching practitioners and applied higher education researchers that focus their research on practical, rather than methodological issues (Teichler, 1996, p. 212).…”

Higher education internationalization (HEI) has become an important priority for global decision makers and education providers. Persuaded by globalization, HEI is a political strategy and economic prospect for countries, governments, and universities to position themselves in global markets. The purpose of this paper is to provide a methodological pathway to develop a dynamic, reformed South African HEI framework based on the transformative drive (i.e., adjustment of change, learning, shared knowledge, internationalization, globalization an institutionalized memory) of HEI in China. The interpretivist paradigm constitutes the basic research approach.Quantitative and qualitative data will be collected, analyzed, and integrated using a multiphase mixed methods approach. This approach consists of three phases including content analysis (Phase I), in-depth interviews (Phase II), and surveys (Phase III), which answers the focal research question. The significance of this research includes creating a better understanding of South African higher education (HE) policy issues from a transformational perspective, contributing to theory on how internationalization affects HE's position in economic and social development and broadening knowledge and understanding of the unique circumstances and challenges of HEI in developing countries, particularly in countries seeking to position themselves in the globalized knowledge economy.Acknowledgements: The authors wish to extend their sincere gratitude to Hebei University of Technology and Tshwane University of Technology for their support and financial contribution.

“…Knowledge sharing activities and partnerships increase the institutions' access to knowledge, research and academic information, thereby increasing its economic capital value (Bhatti, Larimo, & Carrasco, 2016;Jain, Sandhu, & Goh, 2015). The increase in knowledge capital improves the prospects for academic and economic growth in their institutions resulting from the added value gained through internationalisation.…”

Internationalisation is the inclusion of international, intercultural and global dimensions into the objectives, policies and practices in the delivery of postsecondary education. The objective of the research was to investigate the types of partnerships and internationalisation approaches that exist in higher education, the motives of internationalisation and the most appropriate approaches to measuring the quality and progress of internationalisation in higher education. A number of studies on internationalisation have been carried out. However, there is a limit on the scale and amount of research undertaken on measuring the output of internationalisation in higher education, in particular in the context of the Canadian higher education system. This paper is based on case study research to determine the motives of internationalisation in higher education in a Canadian university and it uses the Knight Internationalisation Tracking Measure to test the quality and progress of internationalisation in the university. The research entailed document analysis, interviews and surveys which were designed to gather data on internationalisation practices and objectives from university staff involved in the management of internationalisation and international partnerships. The content of the interviews and surveys were based on the measures defined by the Knight Internationalisation Tracking Measure. The research found that higher education institutions are motivated by the prospects of attracting additional income to make-up for the reduction in government funding. In addition, internationalisation offers access to staff development opportunities, internationalisation of the curriculum, and wider benefits leading to societal development. These findings and recommendations are drawn from a single case study.
