Existing studies show that VE is beneficial to the improvement of global competence, but there are still some gaps in the selection of participants and the design of the method. Hence, this study investigates the effect of VE towards cross-cultural understanding via examining three fundamental elements of Global Competence, comprising of knowledge, skills and attitude. it is good for both theorizing and teaching. It is also useful in helping build the image of just how closely the two are connected and can provide some insight in helping plan and improve VE programs.
