Inhoud
Working in different places of the world and with people from other cultures can be exciting and can be really fun. It may bring you new ideas, the student may feel perfectly tuned in to some other people he meets and it might give him a lot of energy.
The same work can be frustrating after some time, and he might be really disappointed about some people he has to work with. There is a lot of talking, but little action and hardly any progress. When the student needs someone he cannot find him, when he agrees on something, things just go a bit different. Sometimes it feels as if people do not work with the student but against him and he might even think that the people he has to work with would rather like to see him leaving instead of coming.
The globalization of the business environment is resulting in an ever increasing number of cross-cultural interactions in the workplace.
Understanding the influence of culture on interpersonal interactions in organizational settings is an important requirement for effective international management.
In this course the student will explore literature on intercultural cooperation to gain understanding of theories and concepts of culture. He will use some cases to analyse complex situations in which culture and management are intertwined. He will try to understand them and see how improvements in the situation can be made.
The student will also interview people who worked internationally to see how they tried to learn to become an effective cross-cultural manager. He will structure these interviews, select the most interesting ones and will present them to others in the class.
Finally we will focus on your own intercultural competences. What are strengths and what are aspects to work on?
