Negotiating Diversity: Fostering Collaborative Interpretations of Case Studies
Guo, Shujie; Cockburn-Wootten, Cheryl; Munshi, Debashish
Business and Professional Communication Quarterly, v77 n2 p169-182 Jun 2014
The intercultural divides in values, perceptions, and interpretations of concepts have been studied extensively by international business and intercultural communication scholars. Consequentially, much effort in university classrooms is spent on focusing on the differences between groups and on finding ways to "manage" cultural diversity. What is often missed is the common ground among cultural groups and the differences within what are presumed to be homogenous groups of students. To negotiate this complexity of diversity, we describe an initiative to foster "collaborative" student-led analyses of a case study to open up meaningful discussions around diversity.
