授業の概要 Course Overview
Misson Statementとの関係性 / Connection to our Mission Statement
This course aims to develop the awareness, skills and knowledge required by potential international leaders who possess a ‘Frontier Spirit” seeking to work with a wide range of people from all over the world.
授業の目的（意義） / Importance of this course
The course aims to build on students’ understanding of the fundamentals of international management by increasing awareness and understanding of the soft skills in international management, particularly those relating to cross-cultural management.
到達目標 / Achievement Goal
The class has three main parts:
Part 1 focuses on conceptual notions of culture. The meaning of culture is explored by drawing on a range of national culture models and studies. These frameworks can be applied not only to national culture, but also to other cultural spheres – regional, industry, corporate and functional / professional.
Part 2 examines how national culture influences management practice. In particular the focus will be on the influence of national culture on the development and transfer of a wide range of HRM practices e.g. How do human resource management practices differ across countries and why? What are the possible underlying cultural reasons for these differences? The influence of national culture on aspects of organization structure will also be examined. A range of areas in international management will be reviewed including leadership, decision-making, work and motivation, and negotiating across cultures.
Part 3 focuses on how to manage cultural differences more effectively. The emphasis will be on how individuals, teams and organizations manage these cultural differences. A key theme will be comparative management, analysing the similarities and differences between management and business systems across countries and between different types of enterprise (including comparative Asia-West management systems).
