摘要：Internationalization constitutes a widespread concept in the management literature and has recently begun to be applied to higher education institutions. While previous research has analyzed the relationship between national culture and corporate profit-oriented beh avior, in this study, we focus on university institutions to investigate the influence of cultural dimensions on the internationalizatio n of higher education. To achieve this, we (a) theoretically revise the conceptualization and assessment of cultural dimensions at the national level, (b) provide a theoretical background on the concept of internationalization of higher education institutions and its measurement through university institution rankings, and (c) empirically test whether cultural practices exert a significant influence on the i nternationalization patterns of university institutions. Our results reveal that most cultural practices exhibit a significant influence on the internationalization of higher education institutions
