Course Description

Management and communication in a global setting is a highly complex task, affected by numerous understandings of culture both as individual, social and national bounded values.
Through the course, we will focus on the concept of culture as well as how to approach diverse cultures in an organizational and international context. The subject will be introduced in the light of both managerial and social science approaches and theories. Furthermore, case material will illustrate solutions of cultural conflicts and constructive understanding and communication across cultures, which can be incorporated in working procedures.
