A Decade of Global Enterprise Experiences

Deb Gilbertson and Virginia Cathro

Chapter 10 in The Palgrave Handbook of Experiential Learning in International Business, 2015, pp 149-168 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The Global Enterprise Experience (GEE) is an international business competition that develops tertiary student skills in managing across cultures, time zones, worldviews and levels of wealth and poverty. It builds a mindset for creating successful business ventures that tackle social and environmental issues. Participants are placed in teams of eight, with members drawn from around the world. Teams compete, not countries. They have three weeks to develop a six-page business concept proposal on a profitable product or service that addresses a social or environmental challenge — the challenge changes each year with topics like fostering women’s development, addressing the United Nations Millennium Goals and enabling environmental sustainability (see www.geebiz.org).
