ULIMA-UAG Cross-Cultural Video
Synchronic session
OBJECTIVE:
Record a video focused on exploring leadership examples of Mexico, Peru, and a third
country assigned to your team.
INSTRUCTIONS:
Record a 5-10 minute video with the members of your team. Pretend that you are a
national of the country or a professional analyst of the country you were assigned, and
share the details of the local culture, with a particular focus on leadership practices. Your
main aim will be to help and educate foreign leaders to have a better experience in that
mentioned country.
Each inter-institutional team, built by students from ULima and UAG, will have to record a
5–10-minute video focused on understanding different cross-cultural leadership practices
and real-life examples of leaders. This activity aims to identify leadership practices in a
specific cultural group, particularly to compare and contrast different leadership practices
in Mexico, Peru, and a third country (from the cultural clusters shown in the Guidelines
document) assigned by the professors.
Aside from the video, students will have to design a logo for the youtube channel,
pretending it to be a professional consultancy resource for entrepreneurs, researchers,
and professionals. The logo will have to depict at a glance the essence and the purpose of
the channel where the video will be uploaded.
