Cross Cultural Management (AMBA)

2 credits · Owen Graduate School of Management

In this course students will develop "cultural intelligence" through exposure to the dilemmas and opportunities that arise within international and multi-cultural work environments needed when dealing with a global business environment. Strategies for adopting organizational practices that address these issues will be discussed. The focus of the course is on the interaction between people in international work settings rather than interactions between specific countries and/or cultures. The second part of the course addresses the human resources implication of global business, including the significance of multinational complexity and diversity (cultural, economic, demographic, etc.) as well as the interplay among human resource functions (employee procurement, allocation, utilization), types of employees, and countries of operation.
