In this course, we focus on experiential learning through discussions, case studies, together with lectures and readings.
The student will also do fieldwork in order to (1) investigate cross-cultural challenges that business people face (2) link the findings to existing theories in cross-cultural management (3) critically discuss and reflect on these theories. The student will present the results in class and practice giving and receiving feedback.
The student is encouraged to make the most of the cultural diversity present in the classroom and to share insights and experience with his/her fellow-students. Class discussions will be based on relevant case material, and on the reading chosen for each meeting.
This is a mandatory CEMS course.
