Management Curriculum

This article reviews the documentary film American Factory as a resource for undergraduate management courses, especially those with a global emphasis. The film illustrates several themes, including overcoming cross-cultural challenges with cultural intelligence; international labor relations; employee health, safety, and well-being; stereotypes; and power distance and collectivism. This article also details clips from the film that illustrate these themes and suggests instructors show them alongside class lectures (in person, online synchronous, and online asynchronous) as nonfictional demonstrations of the concepts covered in class. In addition, this article provides discussion questions and sample answers so that these clips can be used as springboards for further class analysis, application, and extension. In sum, American Factory is a tool that can increase engagement and multimodality teaching in the management curriculum.

Cultural Role

Game-based simulations are being designed to portray the immersive experience of live role-play while providing a cost-effective, visually compelling, and easily accessible medium for military training. In this article, we discuss issues involved in using role-play for cultural training and describe a pilot study comparing live role-play versus role-play in a recently developed simulation environment. Developers of training involving role-play should realize (a) the importance of proper preparation for all involved and (b) the significance of the game-based interface in allowing the user to be able to convey and appreciate the cultural and interpersonal aspects of the interaction.
