IB TEACHING TECHNOLOGY: SIMULATE TO STIMULATE

Abstract

The changing focus of international business in academia should be viewed in the context of a rapidly changing global environment. Initially, attention centered on “infusion,” the incorporation of international subject matter into established functional disciplines. Next followed a holistic approach to managing the multinational corporation. Recently the focus has shifted to interorganizational relations involving strategic alliances and networking, various types of horizontal arrangements, in- and out-sourcing, and even international value chain systems. Frontier-edge simulation games of IB operations have moved in pace with the discipline. An example is INTOPIA, an offspring of IU and the universities of Chicago and Santiago.
