In today's increasingly globalised and integrated economy, the need for the internationalisation of post-secondary education curriculum cannot be over stressed. This is particularly pertinent to nations, such as Malaysia, with a fast growing number of international students and international universities. The experience and perception of academic staff of Malaysian universities' business faculties regarding the internationalisation of the business faculty curriculum is explored in this study. The central thrust of this study was to investigate the perception and experience of business faculties' academic staff on internationalising the business faculty curriculum in Malaysia. The study utilised the phenomenological approach. Data was collected through face-to-face interview with academic staff of business faculties from two universities using semi-structured interview. The responses were sorted into codes (open coding & analytical/axial coding) and analysed through continuous review of the participants' own words/phrases. Among the key findings of the study is that, most academic staff in Malaysian business faculties have the knowledge about internationalisation of the curriculum but lack the knowhow in the design and implementation. Vital recommendations including the need for regular capacity building trainings to be organised for academic staff to help develop relevant competence in the internationalisation of the curriculum were proposed.

马来西亚大学商学院课程的国际化:现实,实施和挑战

在当今日益全球化和一体化的经济中,不能过分强调大专教育课程国际化的需要。这与马来西亚等国际学生和国际大学数量迅速增长的国家特别相关。本研究探讨了马来西亚大学商学院学术人员在商学院课程国际化方面的经验和看法。这项研究的主要目的是调查商业学院的学术人员在国际化马来西亚商业学院课程方面的看法和经验。该研究采用现象学方法。通过半结构化访谈,与两所大学的商学院学术人员进行了面对面访谈,收集了数据。回答被分类为代码(开放编码和分析/轴向编码),并通过不断回顾参与者自己的单词/短语进行分析。该研究的主要发现是,马来西亚商学院的大多数学术人员都拥有关于课程国际化的知识,但缺乏设计和实施方面的知识。提出了重要的建议,包括需要为学术人员组织定期的能力建设培训,以帮助发展课程国际化的相关能力。
