International Management Virtual Teamwork: A Simulation

Resumen

As the international environment increasingly turns to electronic communication technologies, experience in manipulating such technologies is in itself a critical learning objective for the 21st century. Especially in the international environment, firm ‘best practice’ increasingly turns to information and communication technology (ICT) as a means of improving efficiency in using internal firm resources, including management time and experience. As a means of preparing students to participate in this increasingly electronic international management environment, this paper reports on the development of a multi-phase, term length “virtual team” active learning simulation in the undergraduate academic environment.
