abstract = "In this article, we describe the Global Project Coordination Course, a course in which project teams composed of three students from each of two overseas universities execute company-sponsored projects dealing with global supply chain management issues. The $75,000 to $100,00 contributed in total by the three to four sponsoring companies funds all course expenses. We assess the benefits and challenges of the use of cross-cultural project teams with diverse educational backgrounds. We conclude that the course provides a unique and effective vehicle for furthering students{\textquoteright} knowledge of Supply Chain Management and Information Systems, improving understanding of {"}soft{"} issues, and training students to work in diverse, global, cross-cultural project teams.",
