Abstract
Today’s business school academics are tasked with pedagogy that offers students an understanding
of the globalization of markets and the cross-cultural communication skills needed in today’s
business environment. The authors describe how a virtual cross-cultural experience was integrated
into an undergraduate business course and used as an innovative pedagogical tool to give students
and faculty an opportunity to build cross-cultural communication skills and develop cultural
knowledge in ways similar to more costly travel abroad experiences. This experience contributes to
competent and globally minded business graduates and faculty who are fit for the challenges of the
global marketplace.
