摘要：AbstractThe development of a scholarly model of technology leadership necessitates a global component for the modern technology and technology education organization. The authors conduct qualitative research of four key concepts around globalization and innovation in technology higher education, as well as issues in organizational change implementation and the evolution of ‘global technology leadership’ as a new scholarly discipline. Via a process of on-site visits for observation and face-to-face interviews with both academic and industry organizations in multiple countries, participant scholars utilized ethnographic research methods (Lindlof & Taylor, 2002) to gather detailed qualitative data on the development and status of implementing technology innovation and global technology leadership strategies. Results of content analysis conducted manually and via NVivo qualitative data analysis software revealed bifurcation in programmatic approaches and conceptualizations on these topics between established and relatively younger higher educational programs, as well as critical considerations in industry-academic partnerships and the role of leadership and management scientific training in higher education.
