IB 372 - Cross-Cultural Exchanges

(3.00 cr.)

Due to globalization internationally-based employees working in multinational firms have become more connected. Many employees primarily work and collaborate with colleagues around the world. Yet, most managers have little, if any, understanding of how culture of employees impact interaction in the workplace. This course provides new insights and strategies for dealing with cross-cultural complexity that affects their individual and team's effectiveness in the workplace. The course also enables students to maximize their study abroad/international experiences by way of theory and practice, sharing and collaborating with one another, and learning from one another's methods, assumptions, values, knowledge, and points of view. The learning method is highly experiential with a focus on lectures, self-assessments, mini cases, class discussions, presentations, exercises, site visits, real life simulations, and team/individual projects.

Prerequisite: IB 282 or BH 282 .
Restrictions: Open to students with catalogue year 2020-2021 or beyond.
