This chapter explores the issues confronting higher education in Saudi Arabia as it moves towards globalisation of learning and research and the integration of its universities into national economic and social policy frameworks. A particular emphasis is placed on the processes necessary for university engagement with multinational corporations, both inside and outside the Kingdom. The authors stress, however, that international collaboration carries risks as well as rewards. Determining an appropriate development strategy for the higher education sector that balances those risks and rewards is critical to the Kingdom’s future.
