Dear IB/IM Colleagues:
If you're teaching Intl. Business/Marketing/Management at the MBA, EMBA or Undergraduate level this semester, X-Culture is accepting applications for the 2017-2 and 2018-1 rounds.
X-Culture is a partnership of 550+ IB professors from around the world. We're not a business. We're not selling a product. We're a partnership of IB professors.
We put our students in global virtual teams (GVTs). About 7 per team, each in a different country. The students work on real-life international business challenges presented by real companies.
About 5,000 Master's and undergraduate students from 130 universities in 40 on 6 continents participate in X-Culture every semester (almost 40,000 have taken part in X-Culture so far).
Working in GVTs, the students spend a semester solving real international Business challenges presented by our corporate partners.
No simulations, no games. Real international teams. Real cultural and time-zone differences. Real clients.
No travel needed. All collaboration is virtual.
The best students are then invited to X-Culture Symposium where they meet their team members and top managers from the client company.
X-Culture just won the Wharton's 2016 Re-Imagine Education Award in the Nurturing Employability category.

If you just want to learn more, attend one of our Live Webinars where we explain in more detail how X-Culture works, who should participate, the task the students work on, our corporate partners, our data for researchers interested in publishing, and Q&A: http://x-culture.org/x-culture-project-introduction-webinar/
