Abstract:

The collaboration of a Latin American university with a US university suggests a useful framework for developing team-based intercultural virtual exchange projects for teaching international business empirically. This study focuses on teamwork deliverables that imitate the international business environment and challenges that global businesspeople face, while connecting the framework of Complexity Theory and the importance of a holistic approach to international business education. These virtual projects proved to be valuable learning experiences for students and faculty, as well as an accelerated approach to the teaching of international and cultural competencies, highlighting the value and support to academia, organizations, and corporations in the era of complexity.
