What do we mean when we talk about culture? How can we describe cultures and what is their importance in business? This module examines the nature of culture, looks at culture at the national level and suggests there are other ways of examining culture. You'll improve your own cultural awareness and learn how to factor in the role of culture in business situations. You'll have the opportunity to consider a variety of cultural influence. You'll examine their manifestation in business behaviour and every day activity. You'll develop your understanding of culture though self-reflection. You'll explore academic approaches to culture and you'll examine the business context at a national level. You'll also explore the impact of globalisation on the need for cross-cultural skills in communication and negotiation.
Please note, the Leeds International Summer School runs for four weeks (2 - 30 July 2022). You can choose to study with us for two weeks or for the full four-week programme. Each module lasts two weeks so you study one module if you choose to attend for two weeks and two modules if you choose to attend for four weeks.
