%T The Expansion of Open University Of Malaysia Through International Collaboration
%X Quality of the programmes and recognition of the provider open up opportunities
for higher education expansion regardless of location or nationality. This
expansion is pertinent to adapt to the growing demand for international
education from the changing nature of the global economy and labour market.
As such, it is the interest of this paper to discuss how Open University Malaysia
expands its higher educational programmes via collaboration with international
partners. Additionally, the paper discusses the function of the International
Operation office in managing the operational activities and sustainability of the
collaboration. Furthermore, a number of challenges that have surfaced in the
collaboration are described and addressed for effective operations
management. This paper is deemed valuable for all higher education providers
who are optimistic about exploring opportunities for expansion through
international collaboration.  [Abstract by author]
