Abstract

Globalization drives Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) to compete in the global market. Internationalization is an urgent matter for HEIs regardless of considering its size. It is not only for the best but it is irresistible for all. This paper focuses on the internationalization strategies of HEIs to be competitive in Asia, even though there is no best model for it. Comprehensive Internationalization (CI) is defined as commitment and action to infuse and integrate international, global, and comparative content and perspective throughout the teaching, research, and service missions of higher education. This is a process that brings two aspects internal and external. Internally, HEIs should be prepared with the changes structural, cultural, and others. While externally, HEIs become more international by having collaboration with other international partners, projects, and recruitment of foreign students. The pattern of internationalization in Asia are categorized into three patterns: 1) an import-oriented type; 2) an import and export type, and 3) a transitional type. The paper proposes the application of the “DCI Business Model” or “Dynamic Comprehensive Internationalization model”. The DCI is enabled HEIs to be more flexible and responsive because its multi-leveled create an interconnection, independence, and adaptation. It provides concepts and tools to examine dynamic systems in all their complexity, richness, diversity, and development.
