cross-cultural team role play

  • 1.  cross-cultural team role play

    Posted 11-06-2007 14:52

    Dear Colleagues,

     

    I am looking for a cross-cultural team role play for a group of American MBA students. The topic for the class is effective cross-cultural team management. If you have any suggestions, please forward them to me at your earliest convenience. I will then summarize the responses and send them out to the list again in case this information is helpful to others.

     

    With many thanks in advance for your generous assistance.

    Schon,

    I use The International Cola Alliances.  Taken from the exercise itself, the objectives are:
    • to introduce some of the complexities involved in doing business across international borders
    • to examine what happens when countries seek to do business with one another without the benefit of a common language and customs

    Schon:

    I have used an older but fun exercise. It effectively demonstrates many
    dimensions of cultural difference (Hofstede would love it!). It's called
    BaFa BaFa. Although I've used it primarily at the MBA and Executive MBA
    levels, students of all levels love it. I've used it in the US and in
    Latin settings -- it works well in both.

    Hi All- I'm jumping in a bit late in this communication string- so pardon me for asking (perhaps you've already shared...) where can one find any of the exercises you've mentioned? (BaFa and Cola). I'm teaching an undergrad course in Intercultural Communications and these exercises might be helpful. Thanks much- Johanna

    We have used Frost in France and Annamay in Mexico for cross cultural role playing as part of a leadership experience for undergrad students.
    They have worked well, but we really have to push the students to do the proper amount of pre-exercise research and reading.

    Dear Schon,

    You might consider Paul Vaaler and Michael Watkins' Anatolia National Telecom Privatization negotiation exercise, available through HBS.  It is very rich in both negotiation technique challenges as well as project finance and program evaluation, and could perhaps be framed to address cross-cultural team issues.

    Best regards,
    Tom

    Barbara: Thanks for sharing but the attachment did not appear. I would like to review it.

    I've attached a short simulation called "Zatana" that I developed based on a similar simulation called "Zawambia" that appeared in Improving Intercultural Interactions, pp. 51-54.

    Dear Schon,

    You might consider Paul Vaaler and Michael Watkins' Anatolia National Telecom Privatization negotiation exercise, available through HBS.  It is very rich in both negotiation technique challenges as well as project finance and program evaluation, and could perhaps be framed to address cross-cultural team issues.

    Best regards,
    Tom

    Dear All,

    Noted with thanks from "Strategic Management Capstone course
    coordinator" in Hong Kong. Thank you for sharing this piece of useful
    information. I am considering how can we make the best use of exercises
    and international case, especially Asian oriented cases (China, Russia
    and India) for teaching of the course.

    Looking forward for further sharing in the near future.

    Best,

    Dear Kim,

    No, I am not. I used the international cases (mostly Asian oriented)
    for cross topics discussion with undergrads only. Your wise use of
    cultures crossing international negotiations simulations sound great to
    me but, in Hong Kong, that kind of topic is usually taught in a
    separate elective course with MBAs instead.

    Thank you for sharing your idea and look forward to further sharing in
    the future.

    Best,
    Winnie W

  • 16.  cross-cultural team role play

    Posted 11-09-2007 04:58
    I'm not sure what the original poster was looking for but I have an extensive cross-cultural simulation based on conflict in a Sino-foreign joint venture in China. Issues, objectives and 'unanticipated' events are all based on actual incidents in JVs in China. 
     
    I've run it at MBA level (American and Chinese students) and, earlier this month with undergraduates (Chinese and French students as partners with Italians, Swiss and Americans acting as Venture Capitalists to the shaky deal). 
     
    Post-simulation surveys of participants are very positive. It's run as part of an International Management Program in Beijing allowing international students and executives to practice the rinciples provided in the program.

    Dear Kim,

    No, I am not. I used the international cases (mostly Asian oriented)
    for cross topics discussion with undergrads only. Your wise use of
    cultures crossing international negotiations simulations sound great to
    me but, in Hong Kong, that kind of topic is usually taught in a
    separate elective course with MBAs instead.

    Thank you for sharing your idea and look forward to further sharing in
    the future.

    Best,
    Winnie W
