| The aim of this paper is to present a theoretical framework that may guide future research assessing the effects of cultural diversity on student teams. The discussion confirms that enhancing cultural diversity in student teams is related to the development of an ‘embedding context’ that promotes the value and benefits for both the individual and the individual working in a team. This paper is yet another contribution from the teaching-research nexus that we have adopted in approaching the question of managing student teams, and which is reflected in the HERDSA publication Managing Student Teams. |
