Crash Course in Cross Cultural Management for Ship Suppliers

Course Description

in exclusive collaboration with the International Ship Suppliers & Services Association (ISSA)

The purpose of this course is to provide an understanding of managing employees / teams across national cultures. Cross-Cultural Management examines the management of culturally diverse organisations or teams. Drawing from research on the impact of national and sub-cultures on organisations, it explores the effects of cultural diversity on major organisational management processes. The course provides important professional expertise for contemporary human resource and international business management.

The course explores theories of cultural differences and academic research on the effects of cultural diversity on communication, negotiation, motivation, leadership, and ethics in organisations. Through comparing theories and the application of theories to cases, we extend our awareness of the cultural differences that may impact businesses.
