  • 1.  MBA-level International Management materials request

    Posted 02-09-2015 16:32
    Greetings All -

    I'm teaching an MBA-level International Management course this spring, and would appreciate any materials that colleagues are willing to share that would be suitable for such a course. This includes syllabi, reading lists, text suggestions, assignments, and exercises/activities.

    Material can be forwarded directly to me at rainer.seitz@hotmail.com or sent through the listserv. I would be happy to compile all contributions and share with the listserv in the near future.

    Cheers,
    Rainer Seitz, PhD

    Hi Rainer,

    You might find this article useful--it is an academic article but the writing is clear and it is based on a large cross-cultural study and the figures are excellent at illustrating cross-cultural differences and similarities.

    Van Emmerik, I. J. H., Euwema, M. C., & Wendt, H., (2008). Leadership behaviors around the world: The relative importance of gender versus cultural background. International Journal of Cross Cultural Management, 8, 297–315.


    I addition, I think this article on the importance of leader empathy in 38 countries is fascinating:


    Sadri, G., Weber, T. J., & Gentry, W. A. (2011). Empathic emotion and leadership performance: An empirical analysis across 38 countries. The Leadership Quarterly, 22, 818–830.

    Take care,

    Ron
