Polish -American Entrepreneurial Business Cooperation Workshop Utilizing the Income/Outcome Simulation

Abstract

In 1998, Erie, Pennsylvania and Lublin, Poland entered into a sister city agreement. This case study presents a workshop between sister city entrepreneurs in Lublin, Poland during January, 2005. The Polish/American Entrepreneurial Business Cooperation Workshop assembled a select group of Polish and American business leaders, government leaders, academics and consultants to begin building a platform of mutual understanding and cooperation. The workshop allowed business leaders to learn management skills and build a common international communication platform through participation in the Andromeda Training’s Income/OutcomeTM business simulation. The workshop was very successful and other cities are now considering similar workshops.
