Abstract

ABSTRACT The study examines the impact of introducing several cross-cultural management courses in the undergraduate program of a business school on the students’ cultural intelligence level and on their ability to manage conflict more effectively. The experimental method is used where students in the experimental and the control groups respond to the same survey at three different times (240 students); the focus group method is used with a group of nine students from the experimental group to obtain a deeper understanding of the results of the statistical analysis. The findings suggest a positive and significant effect of the cross-cultural management courses on the cultural intelligence level and the conflict management styles of students with obvious differences between male and female students. The findings confirm the importance of these courses and recommend making cross-cultural management courses core for all students to support their future global employability. Furthermore, experiential and blended learning techniques can replace international exposure, which is timely considering the constraints imposed on international travel due to COVID19. The study suggests a helpful insight to international business educators that can support the process of developing their programs through introducing specific courses and complementary teaching techniques that are effective and timely.

跨文化管理教育:21世纪商科学生的核心
摘要本研究考察了在商学院本科生课程中引入几门跨文化管理课程对学生文化智力水平和更有效地管理冲突能力的影响。使用实验方法,实验组和对照组的学生在三个不同的时间对同一调查做出反应(240名学生);采用焦点小组法对实验组的9名学生进行了分组,以加深对统计分析结果的理解。研究结果表明,跨文化管理课程对学生的文化智力水平和冲突管理风格有着积极而显著的影响,男女学生之间存在明显差异。研究结果证实了这些课程的重要性,并建议将跨文化管理课程作为所有学生的核心,以支持他们未来的全球就业能力。此外,体验式和混合式学习技术可以取代国际接触,考虑到新冠肺炎对国际旅行的限制,这是及时的19。这项研究为国际商业教育工作者提供了一个有用的见解,他们可以通过引入有效和及时的特定课程和补充教学技术来支持课程的开发过程。

期刊介绍: The Journal of Teaching in International Business instructs international business educators, curriculum developers, and institutions of higher education worldwide on methods and techniques for better teaching to ensure optimum, cost-effective learning on the part of students of international business. It is generally assumed that the teaching of international business is universal, but that the application of teaching methods, processes, and techniques in varying socioeconomic and cultural environments is unique. The journal offers insights and perspectives to international business educators and practitioners to share concerns, problems, opportunities, and solutions to the teaching and learning of international business subjects.
