Understanding U.S. business culture through contrast: The case of undergraduate business study in Peru, Nicaragua, and Cuba

We examined the utility of study abroad in emerging economies in revealing students' preconceptions about business and society. In this session, we look at student reflections on their experiences to examine these preconceptions and surprises from the student perspective. Our submission contains course descriptions, learning objectives, and all assignments related to the trip to provide background. The purpose of the session is to discuss the "hidden agenda" in American business curricula as represented in student narrative before and after their travels.
