This course is designed to prepare students to critically examine the theories and practices of cross-cultural management. Three major cross-cultural models of behaviors are emphasized. Motivation models of behavior are examined and their effectiveness considered using this foundation of cross-cultural models. The role of cognitive dissonance in bringing about lasting change in organizations is explored. There will be a significant discussion of international team-building. Finally, students will solidify the understanding of theory through experiential learning, using actual cross-cultural cases and incidents.This course is designed to prepare students to critically examine the theories and practices of cross-cultural management.
