Faculty exchanges as a way to increase globalization in the IS curriculum

Abstract

Companies are becoming more and more global, in large part because of the impact of Information Systems (IS). IS faculty exchanges can be a way for IS faculty to broaden their experiences and education in this flat world. This article presents the views of four scholars on faculty exchanges and experiences. These views are based on their faculty exchange experiences and were presented during a panel session at the America's Conference on Information Systems (AMCIS) 2010 in Lima, Peru. The panelists described their individual exchanges, how they impacted their areas of research and teaching, and their lives. © 2011 by the Association for Information Systems.
