| dc.description.abstract | Purpose This working paper is a first step in a long road whose major goal is to study the progress of the teachers and students from Laureate International Universities (LIU), within a Human Resources Development (HDR) perspective. Design/methodology/approach Therefore in the paper we set the framework for a future analysis of Garcilaso within a HRD mindset. We do that by making building a conceptual model to be used on Garcilaso, by doing a review of the relevant corresponding literature, and by defining in detail the research questions that are to be analyzed over Gracilaso. FindingsFor our knowledge Laureate is the biggest international conglomerate on higher education. In fact, at the time of writing LIU is a vast conglomerate of 80 universities, located in more than 30 countries and with an attendance of around 950 000 students in 2014-5. The sole existence of such an organization is important in management terms. But what really makes LIU interesting in HRD terms is the existence of an internal mobility program for students called Garcilaso. Garcilaso is a program which promotes students and teachers mobility within the Laureate Universities. Garcilaso is comparable to the EUās Erasmus program Research limitations/implications We only described LIU and built the conceptual model. It would be very interesting to make an empirical study comparing Garcilaso to Erasmus. Practical implications HRD scholars should know about LIU and Garcilaso, for its dimension, and meaning. Social implications LIU and Garcilaso are of course important from a CSR point of view. In a globalized world their experience may have much impact and significance. | pt_PT |
