Description

Education is the first stage in developing a viable, dynamic, and long-lived global economy. Unfortunately, in times of economic hardship, educational programmes, teacher salaries, and extracurricular opportunities are often the first to be cut. International Education and the Next-Generation Workforce: Competition in the Global Economy presents a detailed discussion of present educational principles and policies, and their impact on the effectiveness of education in a multi-national context. The chapters in this pivotal reference contribute to the body of literature bridging the gap between the fields of business and education, providing educators and business professionals at all levels with an instruction manual for the next generation of employment-focused teaching and learning.

Author Biography:

Victor C. X. Wang, a tenured associate professor, joined the faculty at Florida Atlantic University, USA. Dr. Wang’s research and writing activities have addressed workforce education, the foundations of adult education, adult teaching and learning, training, transformative learning, cultural issues in vocational and adult education, distance education, human performance technology, instructional/administrative leadership, assessment and evaluation of learning, and curriculum development. He has published more than 150 journal articles, book chapters and books, including two encyclopedias and one handbook of research (each over 1,000 pages long) in 10 years and has been a reviewer for five national and international journals. He is the founding editor (Editor-in-Chief) of the International Journal of Adult Vocational Education and Technology. He has won many academic achievement awards from universities in China and in the United States, including the Distinguished Faculty Scholarly & Creative Achievement Award. Dr. Wang has taught extensively as a professor in Chinese universities (1989-1997) prior to coming to study and work (Kansas, Arkansas and California, 1997-2011) in the United States. He has taught across the curriculum for the past 23 years in university settings. He has had extensive experience in chairing and mentoring doctoral dissertations. Three of the books he has written and edited have been adopted as required textbooks by major universities in the United States, and in China. In addition, numerous universities worldwide including some Ivy League Universities have cataloged his books and journal articles.
