Abstract
We investigated the (a) effectiveness of cross-cultural training in promoting cultural awareness and (b) differential effects of didactic and experiential approaches on cultural awareness and trainee reaction. MBA students (N = 105) participated in a cross-cultural training program structured to allow for a pretest-posttest experimental design. Participants were randomly assigned to one of three instructional conditions: integrative, video, and experiential (BaFá BaFá). Trained participants reported a significantly higher level of cultural awareness, but there were no significant differences among training conditions on this variable. Experientially-trained participants, however, reacted more positively to the training. Implications of the results and suggestions for future research are discussed.
