Students Participate in the X-Culture Project

By Jarin Eisenberg

What do you think of when your instructor tells you a group project is required for a course? Do you grumble and groan or do you jump at the opportunity to collaborate with your fellow classmates? What if the group project required you to connect with 5 other students located all over the globe? Just think about the challenge of scheduling a meeting when you have students in 4-5 different time zones. That is exactly what students in Professor Tim Muth’s class are doing as part of the X-Culture Project.

The X-Culture Project aims to provide students with real-world business experience and exposure to the cross cultural challenges faced in an international business situation. As part of the project students will use their International Business knowledge to develop a business proposal for a large, industry-leading multi-national company. The industries the groups will be focusing range from information technology, oil/gas, retailing, entertainment, and others.

Over the next several weeks students will be writing blogs about their experiences collaborating with their team members and the progress they are making on their business proposals.
