Abstract

This paper presents a SWOT analysis of globalization on the Adventist network of higher education. Samples from each world region were selected for guided interviews to analyze the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats of globalization to the development and identity that exist within the network of Adventist institutions of higher education. It discusses opportunities such as language, culture, technology and threats to identity and development, and juxtaposes them against the strengths of the world network of Adventist universities and the challenges of growth and cooperation across institutions, in order to reveal a clear vision of the potential of Adventist higher education. This SWOT analysis conceptualizes the unrecognized potential that internationalization and globalization present for the Adventist network of higher education. These potential networking opportunities could affect the church’s ability to play a leading role in education, to fortify its identity, and to generate development in all its institutions.
