Global Management & Organizational Behavior

About

This course focuses on understanding and managing organizational behaviour in a global context. In a global market, it is imperative that current and future organizational managers better understand how to successfully manage business across borders and effectively lead a global workforce. Conceptual frameworks of organizational behaviour and culture will be discussed combined with practical advice for navigating cultural differences in the workplace. Participants will gain new insights on how to understand and interpret behaviour, thereby enabling them to effectively manage global challenges.
This is an interactive course that includes a combination of lectures, videos, in-class discussions, mini-case studies, daily review quizzes, and a team project where each group will assume the role of a cross-cultural training team of a multinational firm tasked with preparing an employee for an overseas assignment.
