This perspective has been chosen because it is the interaction of cultures where managers experience difficulties. This course will seek to accomplish objectives through practice in critically examining, analyzing and attempting to solve problems in cross-cultural situations. The vehicles for such practice will be varied and include case discussions, readings, videos, exercises, guest speakers, and individual study. The evaluation of your class contribution will be based on your understanding of the situation, your recommendations for action and their connection to your knowledge of course material, and your effectiveness in communicating this information. Classroom contributions are evaluated against the following criteria following each class.
Participant is absent.
Please note that class contribution is not equivalent to talking in class. The quality of what is said and the quality of one's listening and responsiveness to others are important components of the evaluation. In cases of illness or a need to leave campus unexpectedly, please call or have someone call for you. If you cannot reach me in my office, leave a message with the Management Department secretary, 895-2382. Ultimately, international business is conducted with and through people from various cultural backgrounds.
