It is a waste of effort, energy, etc.
Research areas will have to include groups with members from different universities
Exchange of experience in different aspects and principles of teaching and learning
The improvement of students' learning outcome
The positive effect comes from research collaboration with colleagues in countries with which South Africa agreements in scientific cooperation. The negative effect is based on the fact that South Africa is increasingly not viewed as a developing country which results in decreasing access to development funds and support. Yet, the educational backlog is enormous, especially among the previously disadvantaged communities. (South Africa)

The government cannot keep up with the ever increasing population of those going to school
Effects the sustainable development of the region
Increased competitiveness - universities can no longer rely on 'internal', local supply of students

The effect is moderate because of the quality of research done at the HEI in the Western Cape region of South Africa funds are still attracted. This is also true for a number of South African institutions compared to the SADC region or even Africa as a whole. However, globally viewed, Southern African institutions, and for that matter, African institutions receive stiff competition. (South Africa)

Comments:
More quantity and administration
Less content, but often more quality
Business graduate school has the largest number of applicants
More people will get higher quality MBA
Our faculty of management is strongly U.S. free market economy-oriented
Overproduction of specialists in the field
Business harassment education is one of the university areas with most direct links to companies. These are also directly affected by internationalization, so university and company needs are closely linked
