This dynamic and interactive course provides managers with an effective framework for achieving their goals in competitive global business settings.  The course will assist students in preparing for and executing time-tested strategies for achieving communication competence, including conflict resolution, negotiation and mediation, with persons from different cultures. It will not only examine theories of culture, communication, and negotiation, but will also place students in an experiential situation in which they gain valuable skills for overcoming obstacles in global management situations. Through use of cases, multicultural team exercises, and simulations, this course will equip the global manager with tools to solve problems and take advantage of opportunities in a multicultural world.
