Abstract
Transformations of knowledge and collaboration with international R&D experts are becoming increasingly common and an important part of international competitiveness. The object of Integrative Action is to integrate the three statutory tasks set for universities of applied sciences in Finland: education, research and development, and regional development. The constructive research question addressed in this article is: What are the constructions and models contributing to international and global activities, which are used in implementation and actualization by Finnish universities of applied sciences? The case in this article is Laurea University of Applied Sciences. The new proposition involves the Integrative Action model, with its elements and its applications from the perspective of globalization. The main contributions of the integrative action and process model are 1) the creation of a sustainable and linear framework for cyclic innovation activities and 2) the implementation of regional development and globalization perspectives Laurea University of Applied Sciencesâ?? everyday activities. The proposed models were applied and tested in higher education.

Summary
It is evident that universities of applied sciences have evaluated the importance of regional and international development and collaborative work. Integrative action refers to the three statutory tasks given to universities of applied sciences being continuously integrated in everyday work and international cooperation, while emphasizing transformations and globalization. The link with globalization is that the university of applied sciences promotes the transformation of regional cooperation networks into innovators by transmitting and producing new knowledge, competence and innovations in the national and international innovation system. By proactive approach we mean causing something to happen rather than waiting to respond to an event This proactive pressure is an effective management and leadership skills development tool, as learners “learn to demand” the application of new knowledge and the learning of future core competences. The nature of operations at a university of applied sciences is one of development
