Cross Cultural Seminar (Spring)

This course will focus on national and organizational cultures in the context of your internship or student experience and beyond. We will investigate how cultures differ in several dimensions, and how you can identify areas of good and bad fit between a previous culture and the culture in which you now work or study. We will present information on how to classify any culture, how cultural attributes influence organizations and work expectations, and how workers can manage the adjustment to the workplace or academy in non-native cultures. The online class lecture (webinar) will provide you with a formal way to analyze how you approach work assignments across cultures and managing cross-cultural teams.
