Abstract
ABSTRACT Using Hofstede’s classification of national culture, this article examines whether culture influences peer evaluation of performance on global virtual teams (GVTs). Two separate analyses were conducted based on the hypotheses developed. The first analysis included close to 8,000 students and the second included over 3,000 students, all who participated on GVTs through X-Culture, a 10-week GVT project. Results indicated that the cultural variables had a weak effect on peer assessment of performance, and the most influential variable on performance was English language ability. This article is particularly timely due to the increased use of GVTs in the business world, which has led to calls for more use of virtual teams to be incorporated into course work. Furthermore, the use of GVTs benefits students because it helps them develop global competencies without having to complete a study abroad.
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.
