Understanding cross-cultural differences using Business Games: A European/US
perspective. Teaching across cultures
Presenter: Teresa Torres-Coronas; U. Rovira I Virgili; Spain

Program Session #: 54
Sponsor(s): (MED, IM)
Scheduled: Saturday, Aug 2 2003 7:00AM - 8:30AM at Sheraton Seattle Hotel &
Towers in Room 426
As professors we need to teach our students to break down wrong assumptions
about other cultures and to be more open-minded. This PDW will focus on
assumptions about cross-cultural differences. Using film and business games as
teaching resources our purpose is to show how Americans could be wrong when
looking at European/Spanish culture and vice versa. The best way to do that is
using funny tools as film scenes and games. This PDW would like to be a forum of
assumptions interchange. What do American people think about Europeans? And how
European people think American people are alike? We still have too much to know
about each other. Our mutual understanding is crucial when dealing with
international business management.
