Cultural and micropolitical issues in joint degree programming: A case study in hospitality education
Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate the first joint Bachelor's Degree program in hospitality between a U.S. educational institution and an educational institution abroad. The partnership failed; however it was important to investigate this partnership in order to learn from past errors so that future partnerships will persist. Utilizing cultural, micropolitical and unity of command frameworks, it was shown that joint degree programming is unwise between educational institutions that have not first attempted other programs together. Examples of other programs include 2+2 programs where one institutional degree form the substructure for the Bachelor's Degree.
