Over half of the more than 130 executive MBA (EMBA) programs that currently exist around the world include an overseas component. A primary justification for including an overseas component rather than, or in addition to, teaching an international business course on campus is that participants learn more by traveling to another country. However, no systematic assessment has been conducted to identify the impact of these courses on knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors toward business. The assessment procedures in this study involved 90 participants in five groups of four EMBA international travel courses. The results of this study indicate that these international travel courses do affect cognitive, attitudinal, and behavioral learning of the participants.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
