A Study Tour Model for Undergraduate Business Students

Abstract

Although many business schools offer study tours as a component of their internationalization strategy, few faculty members are publishing their experiences. This paper presents a study tour model for undergraduate business students developed by Grant Mac Ewan University's School of Business. The MacEwan study tour model considers purpose, process, program, participants and place. In addition to describing the MacEwan School of Business study tour model, this paper includes a comparison of five institutions' undergraduate business study tours, highlights best practices from the literature and makes recommendations based on our experience.
