Internationalizing Teaching: Enhancing Global Perspectives in Business Education

This guide explores four primary dimensions of internationalizing teaching methodologies in business education: personal experience, subject matter, country context, and cross-border dynamics. It emphasizes that "international" is a process rather than a binary concept, highlighting the importance of experiential learning through simulations like BaFa BaFa and Ecotonos. The document encourages educators to integrate international case studies, cultural insights, and negotiation techniques to foster a holistic understanding of global business practices. Resources for further exploration are also provided.

  1. Internationalizing Teaching Mason A. Carpenter University of Wisconsin-Madison

  2. Four Primary Dimensions • Personal Experience • Subject Matter • Country • Cross Border

  3. Disclaimer (Strong Personal Bias) • “International” is not a dichotomous variable (yes/no) – it is a process and a sojourn

  4. Experiencing (International Management) • International management as cross-border and cross cultural negotiations • One-hour and multi-hour simulations with structured debrief • Simulation is the source of data for the debrief but must do both • Examples: BaFa BaFa, Ecotonos, Barnga • http://instruction.bus.wisc.edu/mcarpenter/PROFESSIONAL/Toolkit/bpstools.htm • International internships or field trips!

  5. Subject Matter (Mergers & Acquisitions) • Depth of topic by showing different settings • Answers question: What are the key differences and similarities of this function in other countries? • Cases set in other countries • Examples: Attached PP

  6. Country • Expose knowledge of own country • The Ivey Case 9A95G001, "Where have you been: An exercise to assess your exposure to the rest of the world's people" • Develop knowledge of other key countries – Culture Grams

  7. Cross Border • What happens when you combine experience, subject matter, and different countries? • Not simply comparative – integrative • Cases with alliances are great context for getting at this subject regardless of functional area – OB to Accounting!

  8. Your Personal Internationalization Roadmap • Experience • Read widely in magazines like the Economist & WSJ Regional Editions • Travel • Study or work abroad • Subject Matter • Know the “border” conditions on your “local” knowledge • How is the function approched differently in other countries? • Country • Read Culture-Grams about the countries that non-domestic case parties come from • Cross Border • Synthesize all of the above!
