Abstract

According to the AACSB International (Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business) (AACSB International, 2011), the next big transformational wave to hit business schools is globalization. Globalizing the faculty is one strategy for enhancing the globalization of business schools and using global faculty exchanges is one method to globalize the faculty. AACSB (2011) noted that globalizing faculty is often overlooked. A survey of faculty who have engaged in international teaching opportunities was conducted. The responses from the survey and recommendations for developing global faculty exchanges and increasing their effectiveness are provided.
