The American students who have participated in this class in the past have benefited from learning about a different culture, he said. They appreciate the fact that there are different ways of doing things. In addition to the classroom activities, the students will tour government buildings in Eau Claire, attend a pow wow in Hayward and tour the Cardinal Glass and Leinenkugel Brewery, said Dr. Robert Erffmeyer, primary instructor of the class. The tours give great examples of cross-cultural comparison, he said. The class will discuss behaviors in business, important trends and differences in the two cultures, Erffmeyer said.
Different cultures have different ways of doing business.
