Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This type of training, where employees explore a nearby neighborhood and talk to residents about the culture, would fall under field simulation. Field simulation involves practicing skills and knowledge in a real, but controlled, environment that is similar to the location where the employees will be working. This type of training would be most effective in helping employees understand and adapt to Chinese culture before their international assignment.
