    Dear colleagues,

     

    I will plan to teach a cross-cultural management course for MBA students as an elective course. Could you share your course syllabus, exercise, cases and etc?

     

    Sincerely,

    Dear Dr. Kim:
    The book "Transnational Leadership Development: Preparing the next generation for the borderless business world" may be an appropriate class reading. The book suggests that cultural differences are paradoxes to be honored rather than problems to be solved, and introduces several cases that are followed across the five paradoxes of relationship.

    Best regards,
    Kathy

    Tae-Yol,

     

    I teach an MBA course in cross-cultural management and will teach it again in the Spring, and I use the following books

     

    - - Mor Barak, Michàlle (2011), Managing Diversity: Toward a Globally Inclusive Workplace (Second Edition). Thousand Oaks, CA: Sage Publications, Inc.

    - - Ferraro, Gary P. (2011), The Cultural Dimension of International Business (Six Edition).  Upper Saddle River, NJ:  Pearson Prentice Hall.

    I also asked student to read (I give to them as a handout):

     

    - - Stewart, Edward C. (1991), "American Cultural Patterns: Form of Social Relations." In L. F. Luce (ed.), The French Speaking World. Lincolnwood, IL: National Textbook Company.

     

    This article presents an view on social relations from the American perspective, which I then use to make comparison and contrast exercises.  I normally include a handout of "domestic" cultural diversity, because we cannot be too effective in managing global cultural diversity, if do not become effective in managing our own diversity at home.

     

    The syllabus I used last summer is attached! I will modify it a little for the Spring semester.

     

    Thanks,

     

    Ivan
