This chapter explores the factors that might influence the intention to study abroad and determines which requirement can be used to attract international students. Fuzzy statistics was used to determine the influencing factors related to student mobility in terms of outbound and inbound study. Exploring students' intentions to study abroad and their readiness may provide a better conception on the issue. The result reveals that study abroad is a better choice for many college students. Since the government provided a menu driven program for universities, various universities have been found to enhance their learning programs to attract more international students. The findings suggest that maintaining cheaper tuition, enhancing culture-related programs, and providing good environment and equipment will attract more international students.

Potential Customers

In order to survive and compete in the current world, a business needs to identify the needs of its potential customers and to develop products or services that can meet customers’ needs. This is true for the educational business as well, which is essentially a service business with students as its clients. Given the growing competition between universities for recruiting international students, it becomes increasingly important for the university management to gain a better understanding of the factors that may influence student’s decisions on selecting universities. This is especially necessary for Higher Education (HE) institutions in Taiwan where the number of international students has almost doubled over the past four years, studying a wide variety of majors.This study applied conjoint analysis to analyze the factors which could influence international students' decisions on selecting universities to study at Taiwan. We found that the strongest influencing factor is “scholarship”, followed by the factors of “desired course”, “language”, and “international environment” (these three factors have the same rank), then followed by “future job”, and finally the weakest influencing factor is “institutional image”.

Objective – To ascertain the factors influencing student learning during information literacy instruction (ILI) and create a theoretical model based on those factors. Design – Mixed methodology consisting of interviews and an assessment test. Setting – Three Canadian business schools. Subjects – Seven librarians, 4 library administrators, 16 business faculty, and 52 undergraduate business students were interviewed, and the Standardized Assessment of Information Literacy Skills (SAILS) test was administered to 1,087 undergraduate business students across three different business schools. Methods – The authors used an interview script to conduct interviews with librarians, library administrators, business school faculty, and undergraduate business school students at three business schools in Canada. The authors also administered the SAILS test to undergraduate business students at the same three Canadian business schools. Main Results – ILI works best when it is related to an assignment, part of the curriculum, periodically evaluated, adequately funded, timely, mandatory, interactive, uses handouts, provides the proper amount of information, and favourably viewed within the school. ILI student learning outcomes are affected by whether the students find the ILI beneficial and relevant, their year in the program, gender, status as international or domestic student, and overall academic achievement. Conclusion – Creation of theoretical model consisting of the three main factors influencing student learning outcomes in information literacy instruction: learning environment, information literacy components, and student demographics.
