PIMSE feels proud to be associated with X-Culture, an initiative undertaken and executed by Dr. Vasyl Taras. The objective is to form heterogeneous group of students into global virtual teams where each participant belongs to a different country.

X-Culture is a Global Collaboration Course involving theoretical training and two months of practical experience as a member of a Global Virtual Team for developing high-quality business plans for multinational companies. Currently students from 140 universities or institutions of 43 countries, 6 continents are participating in X Culture each semester. Students are put into international teams of about 7: usually 7 students from 7 countries. They work as a global virtual team for two months on a business project. The performance of the students is monitored and evaluated either individually or in a group. X-culture serves as a platform for our students in understanding management concepts and theories through formal training and exposure to real life business challenges. We feel elated to share that twelve (12) students have successfully completed the projects from the batch of Academic Year 2021-22.
