Dr. Lisa Kahle-Piasecki (Business) and junior Carter Piasecki presented a paper at the 24th National Business and Economics Society Conference in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, during Spring Break. Their paper titled, Bridging Cultures: Fostering Effective Collaboration in Mexican and US Student Teams, discussed Lisa's work in educational innovation between cross-cultural teams in Mexico and the United States and Carter's experience as a student living in Mexico when he was in high school. The purpose of the innovation exercise is to promote a better understanding of the cultural differences in business and communication contexts, group dynamics, and the awareness and importance of effective collaborative work within teams. Lisa also chaired a session on Classroom Tools and Cases.
