The Fearful Three: Integrating Teamwork, Client-Project, and Study Abroad Into a Single Course
Abstract: Managers function within a cross-functional, multicultural setting that necessitates providing students with a learning environment comparable to real-life work projects. The present innovation-team- and client-based study abroad course-created a rich, complex, realistic, and life-changing learning environment within a regular three-credit course completed in one semester. Delivering these results and measuring the outcomes provided tangible evidence that this innovative integration of three challenging yet complementing pedagogies (study abroad, teamwork, and client-based project) while not diminishing the challenges associated with each method, does provide rich context for learning skills needed while delivering “unforgettable” experiences.
