The increasing significance of multinational corporations and globalisation has created
a need to understand and manage people working within more culturally diverse organisations.
This subject adopts a multi-disciplinary approach to introduce students to important
issues and challenges in managing cultural diversity in the workplace. Conceptual
and theoretical frameworks are used to develop an understanding of the ways in which
cultures differ and how such differences impact on organisations. Topics include cross-cultural
communication and marketing, negotiation and conflict resolution, management of a
multi-cultural workforce, the dynamics of multi-cultural teams, the impact of cultural
heterogeneity/homogeneity on innovation and creativity, the role of mental models
and schemata in intercultural interactions, leadership and motivation across cultures
and human resource development across cultures.
