 A cultural artefact 'show-and-tell': a paedagogical tool for teaching cross-cultural managementKen I. Kim International Journal of Business Innovation and Research, 2006, vol. 1, issue 1/2, 144-148 Abstract: This paedagogical tool was developed for an international management course of which the concept of country culture was a prominent element. Each team (or each individual, if teams are not utilised) identifies and brings to class a cultural artefact that represents the culture of the team's assigned country in significant and meaningful ways. It then makes a short presentation to the class on – (a) what the artefact is, (b) what beliefs and values it portrays, and finally, (c) what underlying assumptions are associated with it. This project is a small 'teaser' project in that it 'teases' students into a bigger main project for the course. Students often postpone 'getting their feet wet' for the main project, because they are overwhelmed by the project's open-ended nature and by the substantial reading and research needed. This project is a very useful little tool in that it helps the students to rather painlessly get started earlier on the main project in the academic term than they otherwise would.
