Lernziele / Kompetenzen

On the basis of a holistic understanding of culture, the students will gain competencies for understanding (inter-) cultural aspects and dimensions and discuss, analyze and evaluate their importance for business practice. They will be able to reflect on their own and foreign cultures and develop intercultural competence for working within a multinational working environment. This includes the knowledge and critical reflection of relevant literature and selected case studies, identification of central issues and the transfer of possible solutions for selected problems.

In addition to subject-specific knowledge, the students will further develop their competences to work in teams, train their critical thinking and analytical proficiency, and learn to present and critically discuss own opinions, ideas and results - both in groups as well as in front of the whole group.

Inhalt

Dealing with clients from all over the world, working together in a multi-national team and cooperating with partners worldwide requires cultural sensibility and the reflection and understanding of one´s own as well as foreign cultures. Given increased globalization and new emerging markets e.g. in Asia, the quest for intercultural competence will even become more important in the future.

The course gives a comprehensive introduction to intercultural management.  Based on a holistic understanding of the term culture, it displays and discusses different aspects and dimensions of culture and reflects on their impacts on business practice.

The course will cover the following main topics:

- Definition of culture and Intercultural Management

- Discussion and reflection of different cultural theories and dimensions

- Analysis and reflection of cultural differences within different nations

- Analysis and discussion of aspects within intercultural communication

- Analysis and evaluation of the impacts of intercultural aspects on
  business practice and development of solutions for intercultural competent
  behavior and processes

- Analysis and discussion of the aspects related to managing a multi-
  national team and development of solutions for intercultural competent
  leader ship

The lectures will be supported by critical analysis of selected case studies, group work and group discussions.
