Abstract

Business schools Case studies Classrooms Collaboration College campuses Core curriculum Cultural differences Graduate students Internet Capitalism Culture Education Globalization Management Information Systems
This paper proposes a framework of incremental approaches to bring globalization into a university curriculum. These elements are: Infusion, Insertion, Interfacing, Interchange, and Immersion. We utilized an Interfacing case study, where a newly developed course teamed MIS students in the (US) Business School with students at major universities in India to solve real-world business problems. This Global Classroom leveraged interactive technologies to bring students together. We discuss the course progression, dynamics of student interactions, impacts of differing cultures, and overall outcomes, which were positive. We end with impacts of such global classroom implementations and teaching tips for implementing global education.
