Curriculum Development & Teaching Innovation
New Learning Material Developed

1.  McLean Parks, J and Showail, S  (2003)  'Dizzy Toons', 
A three-party, multi-issue scoreable negotiation, Dizzy Toons is loosely based on Disney’s development of Euro Disney in France. The case highlights not only the cross-cultural issues, but also focuses on the interplay of both qualitative and quantitative issues (from which discussions of high and low context cultures emerge).


Research in Progress
Submitted, Awaiting Approval
