ABSTRACT
One of the striking phenomenon in contemporary Western business schools is the presence of a high percentage of international students. Students in business schools are essentially studying in the most multicultural environment of the higher education sector in comparison with their peers from other departments. Business schools are also the institutions which often put ‘educating global business leaders’ in their mission statements and invest heavily in developing teaching and research with international relevance. Intercultural training is, however, largely overlooked in the business school context and few schools actually take initiatives to embed intercultural training into their curriculum. This seems a rather puzzling phenomenon, as promoting intercultural learning amongst students could both benefit teaching and learning within business schools and also help students advance their future careers as effective managers or employees in an increasingly globalised and multicultural environment.
