The Possibilities and Limits of Team Training in South East Asia

The area of team teaching is addressed with reference to methods of implementing it in management development; the benefits of team teaching, both to trainers and trainees, are described. Possible difficulties and problems which can arise when it is used in different cultures are examined with reference to South East Asian countries, particularly those with a “Chinese” culture. An example of the use of the method in Hong Kong is provided, from which conclusions are drawn as to its effectiveness in a predominantly Chinese environment.
