Dersin Amaç ve İçeriği

Course Objectives:

The increase in both diversity and globalization in business require that employees, especially managers, develop cross-cultural competence to work effectively in international assignments, on cross-cultural teams, with increasingly diverse customers and clients, and to effectively compete or collaborate with competitors, suppliers, partners, and relevant stakeholders, such as governments and other public bodies. Effective training and exposure to cultural differences around the world can help employees learn to be more successful in a variety of business settings.
This course seeks to provide students with an understanding of effective cross-cultural management and the challenges that are likely to be faced while working internationally. The course focuses on international organizational behavior and human resource issues and practices in transnational organizations. The course is divided into three modules: (a) understanding the effects of culture on attitudes and behavior, (b) organizational and human resource issues such as teamwork, leadership, and negotiation, and (c) preparation for working in or working with people in international assignments.
