As described earlier in this paper, the high complementarities in resources and capabilities possessedby a HEI enable it to deepen the internationalisation activities. However, this requires thatall of the main elements of the internationalisation strategy are integrated in order to add value. Tofurther the international activities from student mobility towards institutionalised internationalisationrequires systematic efforts to establish a common way of working from every stakeholder’sperspective. The two examples of novel activities in internationalisation showed that individualfaculty member can create new interesting ways to implement internationalisation strategies. Inorder to improve the quality of those activities, continuity in the selected activities needs to beassured. For this, the proposed model provides a good starting point.Evtek and Stadia polytechnics merged into Helsinki Metropolia University of Applied Scienceson August 2008. Metropolia will be the biggest polytechnic in Finland. Based on the analysis,it seems that both polytechnics are at the same level in their internationalisation stages, althoughthey have different focus areas. However, Metropolia has a good opportunity to begin to unitetheir internationalisation strategies in order to formulate one common strategy. The strengthsand the weaknesses of both HEIs need to be evaluated in this process in order to institutionalisethe internationalisation strategies in engineering education.The elements of internationalisation and deepening the institutionalising of internationalisationpresented in this paper show those areas in an education institution that need to be coordinated.Those elements are pedagogy, operative arrangements, and decision-making. According to themodel, the quality of the internationalisation activities can be improved with integrated coordination.If the main elements of the international activities are closely integrated, internationalitywill become an integral part of the basic tasks of the HEI. Also, improving the routines intoprocesses may ease the internationalisation in becoming an everyday activity. As suggested in themodel, each stakeholder brings competencies and skills to the international activities. This wouldstrengthen the resource utilisation, saving money and time.Several large corporations such as Cisco (Cisco Systems Inc. 2008), IBM (IBM 2008), andNokia (Nokia 2008) cooperate with educational institutions in their education and researchEuropean Journal of Engineering Education 541programmes. Corporations also provide other means for cooperating internationally. In orderto participate fully with corporations, the processes and roles need to be defined in the HEI.Diversified procedures and processes will not provide industry or other partners with seamlesscooperation opportunities.This article contributes to the existing research in multiple ways. First, we extend the international
education literature by exploring the internationalisation behaviour of HEIs. Further, the
article is consistent with Rogers’ report on the status of internationalisation in HEIs in Helsinki.
Moreover, although earlier international research has emphasised the importance of the student
perspective, the faculty perspective had not been investigated before. The relevance of the faculty
and pedagogy approach to the mainstream of the educational institutions’ internationalisation
strategy literature is argued. The existing education literature is complemented by focusing on
less-researched multi-focal constellations.
Several extensions appear worth exploring in future research. First, process development based
on the suggested model need to be considered. Also, roles and responsibilities in relation to
those processes need to be defined. Second, learning platforms and a repository for international
activities need to be developed. Third, the relationships in partnerships, networks, and
alliances require special attention. It would be beneficial to examine the processes related to
those
