Leveraging AI to Teach Cross-Cultural Management: An Evidence-Based Pedagogical Approach, by Jonathan H. Westover PhD

As artificial intelligence tools become ubiquitous in higher education, management educators face the challenge of integrating these technologies while maintaining pedagogical rigor and teaching critical evaluation skills. This article examines an experiential exercise that uses AI as both a learning tool and object of study in teaching cross-cultural management, specifically Hofstede's Cultural Dimensions framework. Drawing on experiential learning theory, constructivist pedagogy, and emerging research on AI literacy in business education, we analyze how structured AI interactions can simultaneously develop cultural competence and critical AI literacy. The article presents evidence-based design principles, documented implementation experiences from business schools, and forward-looking recommendations for educators seeking to balance technological innovation with foundational learning objectives. This pedagogical approach addresses the dual imperative of preparing students for AI-augmented workplaces while cultivating the analytical skepticism necessary to evaluate AI-generated information.
