Abstract

Regional embeddedness plays an important role for universities. We show that for transnational subsidiaries of universities, or offshore campuses, which are necessarily transregionally embedded through their relations to their home university campus and its networks, the level of regional embeddedness is also of critical importance. We define four dimensions of regional and transregional embeddedness: partnerships, government funding, faculty and staff, and student recruitment. Based on qualitative interviews conducted before and at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic and a global survey of offshore campus managers during the pandemic, we show how campuses with strong regional embeddedness seem to have been more resilient in the face of the COVID-19 crisis than those campuses which are less strongly regionally embedded. Nonetheless, regional embeddedness of institutions is no panacea and its risks and trade-offs with transregional embeddedness should be carefully weighed by higher education managers.
(跨)区域嵌入性和离岸校园的弹性
区域嵌入性对高校具有重要作用。我们表明,对于大学的跨国子公司或海外校区来说,它们通过与本国大学校园及其网络的关系必然具有跨区域嵌入性,区域嵌入性水平也至关重要。我们定义了区域和跨区域嵌入性的四个维度:伙伴关系、政府资助、教职员工和学生招聘。根据在2019冠状病毒病大流行之前和开始时进行的定性访谈,以及在疫情大流行期间对离岸校园管理人员进行的全球调查,我们显示,在面对2019冠状病毒病危机时,区域嵌入性较强的校园似乎比区域嵌入性较弱的校园更具弹性。然而,高校的区域嵌入并不是万灵药,高等教育管理者应该仔细权衡其与跨区域嵌入的风险和权衡。
