Abstract

Business schools in the USA and Europe are enrolling an increasing number of foreign students. This is helping to internationalize classroom learning and extracurricular experiences and foreign students provide valuable income as they commonly pay full tuition, for example in the UK and Australia. In this chapter, we highlight how foreign students, PhD students in particular, need to prepare for the reality of a complex employment situation when they return to their country of origin. Most business scholars in low-income countries cannot rely solely on a university salary for their income. Furthermore, it is a common expectation in low-income countries’ universities that faculty members will be extensively involved in providing public services, such as serving on the board of a state-owned firm. With this chapter, we take this further by addressing business scholars’ involvement in entrepreneurship, and we discuss such involvement in light of the Holistic Conceptual Framework of Edupreneurship.
