Abstract
By collaborating with faculty members from overseas universities to co-teach and co-develop teaching materials and cases, the project aims to
- Promote Internationalization at Home (IaH) through internationalized course content and learning activities;
- Deepen students’ understanding of social issues in both local and international context, and learn how business can create social values by helping resolve these issues; and
- Enhance students’ international exposure and communication skills via collaborating with international students to solve local / non-local social issues from a business perspective
The project consists of an open lecture and a series of 5 participant-centered class meetings, co-led by faculty members from CUHK Business School and overseas universities. In the online class meetings, students will not only learn conceptual frameworks of analyzing social and business issues, but will also discuss cases developed by overseas partner teachers. They will also collaborate with peers from overseas on a team project, and will present their findings in a virtual symposium.
The project will serve the purpose of Internationalization at Home (IaH) by embedding multicultural elements in the curriculum. It will also be an ‘inbound’ Global Experiential Learning (GEL) activity, which is particularly valuable for students who cannot gain outbound experience because of the pandemic.
