Abstract

As academics involved in “teaching” international management to under- and post-graduate students on degree courses run in British universities we have become increasingly dismayed by the types of videos offered by the cross-cultural training industry. Although these videos are intended to simulate experiences of what “cultural differences” to “look out for” when embarking on international careers, there is the very real danger that if used as intended, naïve management teachers could well perpetuate distorted myths and representations of the cross-cultural Other(s), despite honorable intentions to the contrary.
