Applied International Management

Catalog description

All organizations are directly or indirectly affected by international management issues. This holds true for a small business as well as a major enterprise. Yet, too often, inadequate attention is paid to differing cultures, styles, customs and protocols involved with conducting business across national borders. This class is designed to introduce graduate students to some of the concepts and implications of the accelerating trend of increased globalization. Managing a culturally diverse work force within the same national boundaries will also be addressed. A combination of lectures, videos, case studies and hands-on activities will be used to present the subject in an experiential manner designed for practical application.
