Dear IB/IM Colleagues:


If you’re teaching Intl. Business/Management/Marketing/Entrepreneurship and
want a BUSINESS CONSULTING PROJECT to your course, X-Culture can help.


X-Culture is a partnership of 600+ business professors from 250
universities in 60+ countries.


We put our students in global virtual teams (GVTs). About 6 students per
team, each in a different country.



The students work on real-life international business challenges presented
by real companies. The students basically serve as IB consultants, while
also learning how to work with people from other cultures.

Over 6,000 MBA and undergraduate students from 40+ countries on 6
continents participate in X-Culture every semester (60,000+ 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 IB 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.
