International Education Week presents the movie
"Outsourced"
Monday, November 14
7-9:30
Student Center Theater
Opening
presentation from Dr. Kirk Bowman, Director of Undergraduate Programs
in the Sam Nunn School of International Affairs, about the effects of
Globalization on International Political Economy and culture.
Followed
by full-length feature film, "Outsourced," a romantic comedy in an
exotic location--all while showing the new complexities doing business
globally.
What others are saying about this film--a film that
will help you learn some of the complexities of your future in the
global marketplace:
"In tackling the current trend of
outsourcing, 'Outsourced' not only captures the spirit of a new India,
but also of a newly globalized world – and of the importance of
cross-cultural understanding."
"Outsourced is currently being
used at business schools and corporations around the country to create a
dialogue not only about outsourcing, but also about the global economy,
and a workplace that functions across both geographical and cultural
lines."
