How to Add Philosophy Dimensions in Your Basic International Business Course

Pages 189-199 | Received 01 May 2010, Accepted 01 Jun 2010, Published online: 17 Aug 2010
 

Abstract

This article aims to assist professors in introducing concepts of self, philosophy, religions, the universe, existential dilemmas, etc., in their basic international business classes. Using active learning and five-member student teams, a student organized and administered conference adds a very useful dimension of knowledge sacrificing only one teaching day. The article, capitalizing on more than 25 years of international business teaching and conference experiences, provides “how-to” suggestions to organize similar events.
