Global case study challenge
Students are organized in global virtual teams and are assigned a case study and different activities to work on as a team over a period of 8 weeks. While working on international business challenges, not only do students gain knowledge in the different thematic areas of the case studies, but also experience how to work with people from different cultures, time zones, study programmes and all that in the virtual context!

TESTIMONIALS
The GCSC assignment has been an excellent international project management program. The key point of the program has been the intercultural cooperation.
It was definitely a great challenge to collaborate with students and professionals from all over the world, and coordinate meetings taking into account the different cultures and time zones.
Great project and experience both for students and professors. Good way of teaching students of different ways of communication, team work and critical thinking.
The GCSC was a great learning experience! Students learned how to work in an international team, how to communicate to overcome cultural differences and more!
I found it extremely formative and exciting as an educator to participate in the GCSC 2021 edition. Thanks a lot, Barbara, Svetlana, Eithne, and Anna for the amazing conception and organisation work as well as for putting together such interesting case studies for our students to work on. And congratulations on your incredible online facilitation, you are great role-models for all of us for virtual teaching. The Global Case Study Challenge also offered great networking and knowledge exchange opportunities to us educators, as well as our students. Some of my students have made friends with their virtual teammates and have arranged to meet face-to-face too. What an incredible opportunity for real Intercultural encounters!
