This structured assignment is to accompany the case ''208-065-1''. The abstract of the case is as follows: In 2006-2007, Singapore had seen three reputed foreign universities exiting their ventures from its place. Singapore, an island state, termed as a ''benevolent dictator'' has shown miracles in transforming its underdeveloped economy status in the mid-1970s, to a developed economy within a span of two and a half decades. Its manufacturing strength has been role setting and beyond excellence. The economy that was predominantly manufacturing-driven diverted its focus towards knowledge-allied sectors by the mid 1990s. However, to its dismay the backbone of knowledge - educational institutions seem to have an inherent drawback. Despite a strong primary and tertiary educational system, Singapore''s wand is failing to prove its magic over the foreign higher educational institutions.The case is structured to let the students analyse: (1) the critical success factors of nations as educational hubs; (2) a government''s role in promoting its nation as an educational hub; and (3) the factors of students'' attraction towards educational destinations.
