X-Culture Call for Participants

Dear IB Colleagues:

If you would like to add a real international business consulting project to your International Business/Management/Marketing courses, the X-Culture Project might be a good choice.

Over 110,000 students from 500 universities in 110 countries have participated in X-Culture over the years, and more join the project every semester (full list here).

About X-Culture:

  • X-Culture is a partnership of business professors. We put our students in global virtual teams (GVTs). About 6 per team, each in a different country.
  • The students work on real-life international business challenges presented by real companies. The students serve as IB consultants while also learning how to work with people from other cultures.
  • No simulations. Real international virtual teams. Real clients. No travel is needed. All collaboration is virtual.
  • About 6,000 MBA and undergraduate students from 70+ countries on 6 continents participate in X-Culture every semester (70,000+ have participated in X-Culture so far).
  • The best students are then invited to the X-Culture Global Symposium, where they meet their team members and top managers from the client company.
  • X-Culture won Wharton’s Re-Imagine Education Award in the Nurturing Employability category.
  • Research is a big part of X-Culture. So, if you need to publish, we can help, too.
