Dear International Business/Management/Marketing Teachers: If you're teaching an IB or related course this semester and want to add an experiential component to your course, the X-Culture Project can still add 2-3 classes to the Feb 29-May 24 round of the competition. We already have over 4,000 MBA and undergraduate students form 100+ universities signed up, but can still add a few. We are particularly interested in non-U.S. participants and research-active instructors. X-Culture is a partnership of IB professors from around the world. We put our students in Global Virtual Teams of about 6 (each from a different university/country) and the teams work for a semester on real-life IB challenges presented by real-life companies, thereby experiencing first-hand the challenges and learning best practices of international teamwork, as well as gaining valuable international business consulting experience. The best students are then invited to X-Culture Symposium (in 2016 will be hosted by the Royal Caribbean aboard the “Brilliance of the Seas” cruise ship). Here is how it works: www.x-culture.org Here is why you as a professor want to add it to your course: www.x-culture.org/for_instructors.html List of international business partners/challenges: http://x-culture.org/competition-challenges/ X-Culture is also an excellent research platform. We collect longitudinal multi-source multi-level data on GVTs (over 2,000 variables total), so if you’re interested in research on groups, we have the biggest and deepest dataset in the world. *Divisions:* - Undergraduate - MBA and other Master’s - EMBA - Non-student contestants *Dates:* Early track: FULL Late track: Feb 29- April 25, 2016 The application process is competitive.
