Leading Effective Global Teams

Managerial roles and responsibilities are becoming increasingly global. In many companies, managing in an international environment has become an important criterion (if not the most important criterion) for promoting top management levels and concomitant business success in the corporate world. This course begins with an orientation on global management and ends focusing on unique considerations that today’s global managers need to consider. In between, the course will focus on critical conditional topics like the understanding of cultural differences, cross-cultural ethics, business communication in a global context, skills for avoidance/dealing with conflict, and personnel negotiations; topics relevant to the critical subject of “global collaborative teams.”
