“…1 International experience has been shown to influence students' inter-national perspectives (Kauffinann et al, 1992;Zorn, 1996), awareness, and appreciation (Carlson and Widaman, 1988;Dwyer, 2004;Wallace, 1999). This influence has also been shown to have a longterm effect on shaping and influencing evaluation of world issues (Dwyer, 2004;Zorn, 1996). Specifically, individuals who studied abroad experienced a greater awareness of global interconnectedness (Chieffo and Griffiths, 2004).…”

Research suggests that international assignment experience enhances awareness of societal stakeholders, influences personal values, and provides rare and valuable resources. Based on these arguments, we hypothesize that CEO international assignment experience will lead to increased corporate social performance (CSP) and will be moderated by the CEO's functional background. Using a sample of 393 CEOs of S&P 500 companies and three independent data sources, we find that CEO international assignment experience is posi-tively related to CSP and is significantly moderated by the CEO's functional background. Specifically, CEOs with international assignment experience and an output func-tional background (e.g., marketing and sales) are positively associated with greater CSP. ABSTRACT.

“…Zorn (1996) agrees that the effects of a short-term immersion experience on a participants' subsequent long-term personal and professional life is not well known. The purpose of this study is to increase understanding of what a cultural immersion experience as a nursing student means to currently practicing nurses, as well as the care they provide.…”

“…[47][48][49][50][51][52][53][54][55][56][57][58] If indeed the "future of nursing is international", nursing educators have a responsibility to prepare nurses who are able to take action focused on meeting the healthcare needs of "our neighbors" globally. [59] Thus, the purpose of this research was to better understand the study abroad experience in its entirety from the students' points of view; not just the successes, but the pitfalls and potential remedies, in an effort to capture the process by which transformational learning takes place in students and to identify specific elements of curricular and support programing that need to be included in study abroad programming, particularly for nursing students, in order to maximize their academic transformative success through studying abroad.…”

Objective: Preparing nursing students within the college or university setting to make a positive difference in today's global society increasingly includes opportunities to study abroad. Maximizing the transformational benefits of these experiences while minimizing the potential ill effects must be a focus of those who develop and implement these programs. This research was conducted to better understand the entire study abroad experience from the student point of view in order to develop a holistic model for nurse educators to utilize in the development of curricular and support programming. Methods: A descriptive, qualitative survey with 72 baccalaureate nursing and other art and science degree alumni from a mid-sized, private, Christian university in the United States who studied for a semester in a third world country was conducted. These participants provided essay answers to four questions regarding the impact, challenges, and opportunities appreciated throughout their study abroad experience, as well as recommendations for future study abroad programming. The responses were analyzed and the results compared with the theoretical framework upon which the study was based. Results and conclusion: Five major components of a transformative study abroad experience were exemplified. The first related to the characteristics of the sojourner, and the remaining four to a comprehensive patterned experiential process by which students moved through their study abroad experience towards transformation and action. The findings provide both a conceptual model and practical insights for nurse educators to consider as they prepare future nurses to engage their world for good through study abroad experiences.
