When West Meets East: Teaching a Managerial Communication Course in Hong Kong

^* To whom correspondence should be addressed. E-mail: eroberts{at}bond.edu.au.

	Abstract

Although considerable previous research has focused on Chinese students’ expectations and experiences while studying in English-speaking cultures, little research to date has focused on how the instructor’s cultural background affects the learning process within a managerial communication classroom. Using qualitative and quantitative approaches, this exploratory case study involves two U.S. instructors teaching a managerial communication course to 106 Chinese students in Hong Kong. The findings from this study provide implications for managerial communication pedagogy and further research.
