Join us Thursday, October 22, 1:00–3:00 p.m., at the AIB-SE 2020 Virtual
Conference for an exciting new interactive workshop led by preeminent
scholars S. Tamer Cavusgil, Ilke Kardes, Gary Knight, and John
Riesenberger. Read on for more details about the workshop and
instructors....

The practice of international business continues to evolve in the current
environment, with mega-disruptions and much uncertainty. For international
business educators, the changing environment of cross-border business
implies new and novel approaches to educating tomorrow's managers. Among
other things, business educators need to reflect new realities including:
risk management, trade conflicts, increased polarization, and another phase
of prolonged recession.

Yet, our teaching has to be relevant, engaging, and innovative. The new
generation of students, both undergraduate and graduate, provides new
challenges for the instructor. How can we share the excitement of
international markets with our students? How can we best connect and
communicate with them via such pedagogical approaches as: experiential
exercises and projects; web-based learning; videos; and cases and exercises?

This interactive session will focus on: (a) “what” — content; (b) “how” —
pedagogy; and (c) “resources” — for teaching international business. The
presenters will share experience and teaching tools that have been
especially developed for IB educators. The intent is also to engage
participants in an interactive discussion designed to search for excellence
in the teaching of international business.
