With faculty advisor approval, students may participate in a university-sponsored trip abroad or a personal trip abroad. Requires an approved plan of study by the faculty advisor prior to the experience. (1-3 units) Learning Objectives Students who successfully complete this course will be able to: Develop a proposal on an international experience with a faculty advisor Implement their proposed international experience Demonstrate an understanding of various cultures Demonstrate an increased familiarity with a foreign culture Evaluate the contributions of diverse cultures What is this course about? This course is taught in conjunction with Bus 572: MBA International Experience. The academic component of the course will thus focus on the analysis of business practices in the context of a foreign country. Travel, in itself, is enormously rewarding and educational, but within the context of an academic program of study, an international experience adds a dimension of understanding that is extremely difficult to achieve in the classroom. In an increasingly global economy, successful business practices require an awareness of cultural and structural differences that may render ineffective the standard domestic modus operandi. At the same time, savvy business practitioners are open to the strategies and tactics of foreign operations that might be successfully implemented in a domestic context. Ideally, you will leave this course with an integrated view of key business concepts as applied to an international setting, as well as respect and appreciation for the culture of the host country. How will this course be taught? This class includes three essential components: Preparatory Meetings: Logistics of travel arrangements, basic cultural information, discussion of assigned reading material. Intensive International Experience: Nine days in Argentina & Chile visiting business, academic and cultural sites. Expect at least one mandatory seminar-style discussions while in each country. March 14-22, 2007. Oral Presentations: Professional presentations that demonstrate your integration of theory and research with the detailed observations and analyses from your travel journals. Date to be determined, but plan on mid to late April. This course is co-taught, and the instructors will serve to help in the synthesis of on-site experiences to class discussions. However, you should not perceive your role to be that of a casual observer: You are expected to be an active participant by engaging your respectfully inquisitive nature and seeking to maximize your total benefit from this intensive experience. What do you need to do to succeed in this course? Be prepared: Do the reading. Do some research on Chile and Argentina and our trip sites. Pack intelligently. Participate: Ask questions. Discuss with your colleagues and instructors. Keep a journal and detailed notes. Behave: Our credo is Professionalism, Collegiality and Respect. How will you be graded? Your performance in this course will be assessed as follows: Reading Summaries & Text Analysis: 25%. To enhance your understanding of Chile & Argentina it is important that you do some background research. To ensure your diligence here you are expected to submit one-paragraph summaries of any 5 articles listed in the reading list and/or that you discover on your own. In addition, given the inter-disciplinary nature of 91Ƶ and the fact that great literature provides insights into what people value, how they see the world, what captures their hearts, minds, and souls, you are to submit a 2-3 typewritten page analysis of a literary text by a Chilean /Argentinean author. Requirements of the text include it must be fiction and it must be of reasonable depth/complexity. A list of recommended authors is provided below but you must get instructor approval for the text you choose. In the literary analysis examine such issues as: How did the work illustrate cultural beliefs, values, practices? In what ways did the beliefs and practices suggested in the text conflict with your own? Discuss 3 ways the text helps enhance your understanding of Latin America? The reading summaries and text analysis are to be submitted through blackboard and are due by March 10. Journal: 25%. A detailed, well written, analytical and introspective accounting of your visit. Presentation: 25%. A team-based (3 or 4 students per team) 10-15 minute presentation to the class -- while the team can be self-selected it is hoped that each group would have some combination of grad and undergraduate students. The presentation should highlight both intellectual content (that is, what did you learn about the cultural, social-economic-business dimensions of Chile/Argentina) and personal insights into your travel experiences and the lessons learned from those experiences. The presentation will be graded on such things as: clarity, demonstrated mastery of topics under discussion, value-added/information richness, responsiveness to questions asked, and professional appearance (both the material itself but also the presenters). Conduct and Participation: 25%. It is worth noting that severe violations of conduct may warrant a failing grade for the course and your expulsion at your own expense from the international experience.
