FN ISI Export Format VR 1.0 PT J TI Teaching supply chain management through global projects with global project teams AF Kopczak, Laura R. Fransoo, Jan C. AU Kopczak, LR Fransoo, JC BP 181 EP 193 AB In this article, we describe the Global Project Coordination Course, a course in which project teams composed of three students from each of two overseas universities execute company-sponsored projects dealing with global supply chain management issues. The 75,000 to 100,00 contributed in total by the three to four sponsoring companies funds all course expenses. We assess the benefits and challenges of the use of cross-cultural project teams with diverse educational backgrounds. We conclude that the course provides a unique and effective vehicle for furthering students’ knowledge of Supply Chain Management and Information Systems, improving understanding of "soft" issues, and training students to work in diverse, global, cross-cultural project teams.
