Delivering blended learning to transnational students: Students’ perceptions and needs-satisfaction
Transnational education (TNE) has grown significantly in developing countries but providing quality and scaling to large student numbers is a challenge for universities. Blended learning offers a potential solution for scaling at high quality. A large-scale project delivering a blended learning programme for TNE students in South-East Asia was evaluated. The aim of this research was to assess the students’ perceptions of the changes from predomin…
Strategy Resilience: Getting Wise About Philanthropic Strategy in a Post-Pandemic World
Public and private systems worldwide have been disrupted by COVID-19, cutting across all types of philanthropic priorities. Amid this uncertainty, some philanthropic strategies have struggled to find their footing while others have adapted easily, harnessing previously unanticipated opportunities to achieve change.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to assess the efficacy of the policy measures to encourage young Singaporeans to pursue employment in the manufacturing sector while at the same time discouraging the sector’s traditional dependence on low-cost foreign labour. In doing so, the paper sheds light on the challenges faced by small and medium enterprises (SME) as well as the less than optimum impact the policy rhetoric has had on redirecting the as…
Singapore's global schoolhouse strategy: Retreat or Recalibration
In 2002 a high-level economic review committee recommended that Singapore position itself as a ‘global schoolhouse’. An ambitious target was set to attract 150,000 international students to Singapore by 2015 and to lift the education sector's contribution to GDP from 1.9% to 5% in the same timeframe. The global schoolhouse was viewed as producing a number of policy complementarities including addressing population, labour market and economic prio…
The (Continuing) Importance of Industry Studies in Industrial Relations
In the context of a recent tendency towards industrial relations studies at the level of either the nation or the enterprise, the aim of this article is to demonstrate the continuing importance of industry studies. Three main arguments are advanced to support this assertion, based respectively on the empirical and public policy relevance of industries and the potential of industry studies to develop theory.
Constraints, Compromises and Choice: Comparing Three Qualitative Research Studies
Although a number of texts explore social research strategies and methods, most are limited to a basic discussion of such methods and their associated advantages and disadvantages. Few if any, evaluate and compare methods in the context of actual research experiences. This paper endeavours to bridge that gap by reporting the experiences of three researchers working on three separate qualitative studies. All three studies were concerned with inves…
