The Role of Culture in Business Education

Incorporating culture into business education is essential for broadening students' perspectives and enhancing their learning experiences. Exposure to arts, literature, and music can stimulate curiosity and encourage students to question their assumptions about how the world operates. This approach not only fosters humility but also helps in developing emotional intelligence, as students learn to engage with complex ideas and experiences outside their comfort zones. Such cultural exposure increases the knowledge intensity of the learning environment, making education more engaging and effective.
