Description
This course is directed toward both those who travel for broader
life experiences and toward members of the business community who
wish to turn foreign cultural differences into competitive
advantage. Today, the general world traveler and business person
increasingly find themselves living and working in multi-cultural
environments, dealing with real differences in everything from
communication styles to social etiquette to core values. This course
will address why cross-cultural knowlege and understanding are
important. The business world is littered with international
projects and opportunities that failed to overcome cultural
barriers. An attempt to minimize such incidents and to nurture a
more meaningful understanding of the ways of life around the world
will be overriding objectives of this course. Course satisfies
intercultural awareness requirement. (3 s.h.)
