MBAA 671 Leading Innovation and Change in Cross-Cultural Environments (4)


Building on the foundation laid in MBAA 670 Understanding Human Behavior in Organizations (4) , this course continues the applied behavioral science component of the EMBA degree. The exploration of leadership extends to the management of people and innovations across cultures. A view of American managers abroad as well as the management of diversity in the United States is investigated. Leadership as a determinant of culture, quality, and productivity is further addressed. Culture is thoroughly investigated-both as a phenomenon of organizations and as a composite of people in various countries. Organizational culture as it applies to the implementation of business strategy is investigated, and extrapolations are made about its efficacy to achieve the organization’s vision and mission.
