Guest Blogger: John Vetter After a few weeks of no response from one of our group members, we finally received an email from them. My group was finally firing on all cylinders and we came together; after four good ideas were purposed, we as a group decided that we would chose Aldi as our company. The purpose of our business…

Guest Blogger: Bonnie Crowe As the deadline to complete the project approached my teammates and I worked hard to pull together the ideas we wanted to express in the final paper. It occurred to me that although we were in different parts of the world we had been exposed to many of the same business concepts. My group was able…

Guest Blogger: Jean-Baptiste Bacot Our international team finally completed the X-project, somewhat at the last minute.

It has been crazy at times but at the end of the day it was what I expected; people participated and other people didn’t, it happens all the time. As much as I complained about this project to just about everyone I’m glad I…

Guest Blogger: DeMario Robinson       This X- Culture project was very challenging at times. The amount of research and time you had to spend doing this project was sort of annoying at times. Also the amount of different attitudes and cultures we had to deal with was hard at times also. Overall the project did help out a lot.…

As the X-Culture Project comes to a close, students in Tim Muth’s International Business course reflect on their experiences: Guest Blogger: Samah Alrashdi The X Culture Project was a very unique experience. Working with other students from all over the world from different cultures is not an opportunity that a student often receives. I had a wonderful group that all worked…

Guest Blogger: Simon Cummings This is my second and last blog. This project has aged me dramatically lol. All these deadlines plus work from other class has piled up.
