Communication is essential to career development.
Traditionally managers have assumed that face to face contact was sufficed for effective communication, ignoring the concept of culture as a factor. By doing this, managers establish barriers when facilitating with a global society. By ignoring distance, culture, time and technology, managers prohibit effective communication and the formation of relationships. This course will assist students in the ability to understand, convey and demonstrate cross cultural communication skills in the global economy. It is the instructors desire to promote an appreciation of cultural diversity and fostering mutual respect and cooperation among people of different cultures.
