Single course
Intercultural Interaction and Influences
Content
Through this very focused course, you will be introduced to and experience aspects of culture such as its nature, the dimensions of cultural variability, language and meta-communcation, that knowledge is not neutral, implicit bias, and the role of theory and experience in developing your understanding of and growing competence in intercultural interaction, both within your home culture and in other cultures. All these are components of intercultural leadership that recognizes the uniqueness of individuals even within larger, similar groups.
Objectives
At the end of this course, you should have a better idea of the role that culture plays in contemporary business and leadership. You will understand the nature of culture, how it is expressed, how language and knowledge management are impacted, and how unconscious biases are within us all. And, more importantly, what you can do to improve in all these areas.
Implementation methods
This intensive course is a mixture of theory, experiential learning activities, classroom interaction, and reflective learning. Through engaging both theory and practice--and enhanced by reflection--you can gain insights into how multiple personal, cultural, and contextual aspects influence you as an individual and eventual professional and bring implications for how you perceive, work, and achieve in an interconnected and multicultural world.
