The goal of this interdisciplinary course is to familiarize you with key issues, theories, and practices in intercultural leadership and to provide you with the knowledge, tools, and multi-cultural experiences necessary to be an effective, globally aware leader. After several months of study examining the socio-cultural, historical, and philosophical aspects of leadership from a global perspective, we will visit Singapore and Malaysia to explore a number of corporate enterprises. While there, we will conduct in depth on-site visits in a variety of organizations with a diversity of multi-cultural environments to help you become more adept in multi-cultural situations and thus more competitive in the global marketplace.
Through the course readings, site experiences, and reflection exercises, you will examine a wide range of leadership situations and the cultural factors that influence the quality of a leader's performance in these environments. In order to help you apply the literature to your experiences, you will be given a number of opportunities to articulate your ideas about the concepts we will be exploring through presentation, group discussion, and both formal and informal writing.
