Dear IB Colleagues: If you’re teaching Intl. Business/Marketing/Management at the MBA, EMBA or Undergraduate level this semester, X-Culture is accepting applications for the 2017-2 and 2018-1 rounds. X-Culture is a partnership of 550+ IB professors from around the world. We’re not a business. We’re not selling a product. We’re a partnership of IB professors. We put our students in global virtual teams (GVTs). About 7 per team, each in a different country. The students work on real-life international business challenges presented by real companies. About 5,000 Master’s and undergraduate students from 130 universities in 40 on 6 continents participate in X-Culture every semester (almost 40,000 have taken part in X-Culture so far). Working in GVTs, the students spend a semester solving real international Business challenges presented by our corporate partners. No simulations, no games. Real international teams. Real cultural and time-zone differences. Real clients. No travel needed. All collaboration is virtual. The best students are then invited to X-Culture Symposium <http://x-culture.org/category/meetings/> where they meet their team members and top managers from the client company. X-Culture just won the Wharton’s 2016 Re-Imagine Education Award in the Nurturing Employability category. *WEBINAR: * If you just want to learn more, attend one of our Live Webinars where we explain in more detail how X-Culture works, who should participate, the task the students work on, our corporate partners, our data for researchers interested in publishing, and Q&A: http://x-culture.org/x-culture-project-introduction-webinar/ *Divisions:* - Undergraduate - Master’s *Dates:* - 2017-2a: Approximate dates: August 21 - October 13, 2017 Application deadline: August 10, 2017 - 2017-2b: Approximate dates: October 2 - November 24, 2017 Application deadline: September 20, 2017 - 2018-1a: January 22 - March 16, 2018 Application deadline: January 20, 2018 - 2018-1b: March 5 - April 27, 2018 Application deadline: February 20, 2018 *Ready to sign up? **APPLY HERE TO JOIN X-CULTURE* <https://uncg.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_a4CxtDdoWK5DvaQ> Dr. Vasyl Taras Associate Professor X-Culture Project Founder and Coordinator University of North Carolina at Greensboro 336-256-8611 [log in to unmask] www.X-Culture.org <http://www.x-culture.org/> https://www.facebook.com/XCultureProject ____ AIB-L is brought to you by the Academy of International Business.
