Description

Third-year bachelor-level business students taking a leadership course at Justus Liebig Universität in Gießen, Germany collaborated with first-year (BBA) students at UW-Whitewater taking their first business course. While each course had its own learning objectives, they shared a common question to help students increase their preparedness, sensitivity, patience and flexibility when it comes to working with people from different cultures. JLU and UW-Whitewater sales students also participate in international sales competitions and attend student conferences at each other’s universities.

UW-Whitewater and TH-Köln developed multiple collaborations in marketing, business development, project management, and communications. For the marketing and business development collaboration, graduate students worked in multicultural virtual teams for 8-10 weeks to conduct field research to determine the feasibility of importing specific products produced in developing countries. For the project management and communications collaboration, bachelor-level students worked together for 4 weeks to complete a series of assignments designed to identify cultural differences and how those differences impact
project management.
