academic governance, student experience and human capital as TNE management factors. The
students agree on partner profile and human capital as TNE management factors. In addition,
students agree on quality assurance practice, corporate and academic governance, student
experience as TNE management factors. The faculty and staff of the institution agree on the
economic sustainability in terms of systems and structures, resources, governance, reasonable
tuition fees, quality assurance of degree-awarding body, equity, retention, enrolment, funding,
and government support. The students strongly agree in terms of systems and structures and
resources. Students agree on reasonable tuition fees, quality assurance of degree-awarding body,
equity, retention, enrolment, funding, and government support as factors of economic
sustainability. There are significant differences between the relationship of TNE management in
terms of: partner profile, quality assurance practice, corporate and academic governance, student
experience and human capital and economic sustainability in terms of: systems and structures,
resources, governance, reasonable tuition fees, quality assurance of degree-awarding body,
equity, retention, enrolment, funding, and government support. Result further revealed that TNE
management in terms of: partner profile, quality assurance practice, corporate and academic
governance, student experience and human capital affects the assessment in economic
sustainability. TNE management in terms of: partner profile, quality assurance practice,
corporate and academic governance, student experience and human capital significantly predicts
economic sustainability. Furthermore, using thematic analysis, the result showed six (6) themes
on the practices of TNE: experienced and competent faculty contribute to the academic
administrative characteristic and they add to the market value of the organization, 360-degree
communication contributes to the improvement of all, international education, globally
recognized, explicit feedback and openness improve student performance and partnership
encompasses the entire education system. The recommendations for this study are as follows: to
replicate to other TNE schools or centers in Asia or other parts of the world to determine the
TNE management in terms of partner profile, quality assurance practice, corporate and academic
governance, student experience and human capital as the results here are limited to one HEI
delivering TNE and to add other variables and use the structural equation modelling (SEM) to
show causal relationships among variables and confirm the research study design as there are
only two variables that were significant when the initial multiple regression analysis was done.
In addition, Philippine universities who joined the niche TNE programs under the joint
collaboration of British Council and CHED be open to research endeavors such as initial
communications with a college in Taft as probable respondents was left unanswered. To do a
longitudinal study on TNE management in collaboration with Partner University for a different
mode of delivery such as distance learning to determine the sustainability of programs. To update
this research after three years with the same institution after doing the SEM to test the
differences of faculty, staff, and students assessment between the relationship of TNE
management and economic sustainability factors to establish a framework for TNE. Lastly, to
review areas where faculty, staff, and students rated statements below acceptable level for the
continuous improvement of the HEI.
