MSOD 615 Foundations of Culture and Globalization (2)


The purpose of this course is to introduce concepts and theories related to globalization and culture. As organizations prepare for conducting business in the 21st century, their people need the ability to traverse organizational and country boundaries. Students prepare for their first international session by addressing culture and its dimensions from three levels: the family culture, the country culture and the organization’s culture. Cross-cultural interactions are anticipated and the challenges inherent in working in countries other than one’s own are identified. Students are expected to reflect on their performance and learning in Intensive 2 as a contribution to their point-of-view portfolio, integrate those leanings into the cultural frameworks explored in this course, and mobilize for class and field assignments in Practicum 1.
