X-Culture is accepting applications for the 2017-2 and 2018-1 rounds. If you teaching Intl. Business, Intl. Marketing, Cross-Cultural Management, and want to add a real international business experience to your course, consider joining X-Culture. 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 6 per team, each in a different country. The students work on real-life international business challenges presented by real companies. About 5,000 MBA and undergraduate students from 130 universities in 40 on 6 continents participate in X-Culture every semester (almost 40,000 have participated in X-Culture so far). Working in GVTs and dealing with time zones and cultural differences, the students spend a semester solving real international Business challenges presented by our corporate partners. *No simulations. No games. Real international virtual teams. Real clients. * *No travel needed. All collaboration is virtual. * The best students are then invited to X-Culture Global 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. *Divisions:* - Undergraduate - Master’s *Dates:* - 2017-2a: Aug 21 – Oct 13, 2017: FULL - 2017-2b: Oct 3 – Nov 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 How does it work: http://x-culture.org/ What you gain as an instructor: http://x-culture.org/for-instructors/ What your students gain: http://x-culture.org/for-students/ If you are a researcher interested in publishing in top journals, see this: http://x-culture.org/for-researchers/research-projects/ Need more info: [log in to unmask] *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 Coordinator Bryan School of Business and Economics University of North Carolina at Greensboro [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.
