The first part is dedicated to chapters dealing with conceptual and theoretical approaches to enhancing teaching and learning of International Business (IB) and International Management (IM) by the means of experiential learning, and foundational aspects of pedagogy and experiential learning. The second part contains specific applications of experiential learning in IB and IM. Each chapter in this section describes in detail one experiential learning project (e.g., X-Culture, Global Enterprise Experience, Export Odyssey, any other experiential projects which are used in IB and IM teaching)

The seven executive training exercises in tourism in this e-book form an important step towards developing a library of executive training exercises with solutions in tourism management. While in real-life problems and opportunities do not come with an explicit list of options to select from, the view adopted in developing these training exercises is that creating tourism management stories describing dilemmas with explicit options is a useful learning method located between lecturing and learning from case study without explicit options. The novice benefits from considering a list of explicit options- learning to think beyond making a go versus no-go decision in regard to one option-and learns that creating a list of four plus options increases the likelihood of crafting an exceptional solution.
