Welcome to T&E SIG’s Stronger Together! We truly believe that working with others in a collaborative manner reinforces and multiplies the outcomes of individual results. Henceforth, we are pleased to present the Mini IB-cases developed through collective efforts and contributions from AIB members located in different parts of the world. The Mini IB-case contributors designed the case, suggested questions for discussion, and provided insightful perspectives on the case solutions.
The Mini IB-case is a valuable resources that AIB members can use in their courses. The cases are brief, relevant, insightful, but most importantly, they embody diversity of AIB community, and therefore reflect various points of views. The latter supports IB educator in showcasing the value of international business as a context that alters many theories and practices.
We hope Mini IB-cases will be useful for you when enhancing the content and practices in your courses. But also we hope that your students will enjoy learning from diverse perspectives from around the world.
