After completing this module, students should:
1. Gain an in-depth understanding of the nature of culture, the theories and frameworks that help in highlighting similarities and differences across cultures, and comparative business practices and behaviours.
2. Be able to apply these theories and concepts to a range of different cultural and organisational settings.
3. Be able to analyse and synthesise different theories and concepts and critically evaluate their usefulness in addressing the problems of managing people from different cultures.
4. Improve their ability to work in, manage and lead culturally diverse groups and teams.
5. Increase their awareness of the social, political and ethical issues related to globalisation.
This module aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the issues involved in cross-cultural management. It will focus on the impact of culture at the level of the individual, the team and the organisation. It will demonstrate how cultural factors influence behaviours in the workplace and will develop the skills needed to manage effectively in cross-cultural situations. The course will require students to reflect on their own cultural values and experiences, and help prepare them for the future challenges of an international business career. If I am successful in my teaching, this module will not only expand your knowledge in management but will also start a personal-transformation process.
