Semester II (July 2024)

This Course aims to develop cross-cultural intelligence by providing contextual knowledge, cross-cultural skills and multiple perspectives which are essential qualities of a global leader. Further, it helps students to recognise gaps that create cultural and leadership conflicts and learn to value different cultural contexts surrounding individuals and organisations with which they interact. It incorporates topics which highlight the impact of culture in the global business environment and considers the implications for management and leadership. Specifically, topics of the Courseinclude cultural diversity, negotiating across cultures, managing communication across cultures, managing conflicts, understanding cross-cultural ethics and corporate social responsibility, working in global teams, global leadership styles, and HR requirements for performance as global managers, and cross-cultural marketing. At the end of the  Course, students are expected to have built the mind-sets and skill sets of a competent global leader who appreciates and leverages diversity in organisations they work with. Through classroom discussions, videos, and case studies, the Course explores practical solutions for a global leader in cross-cultural business contexts.
