Communicating and Negotiating in a Global Context (COMM E-140)
NOT OFFERED 2011-2012
FALL and SPRING
Instructor:
Marya Dantzer
To communicate effectively in global or multicultural business settings, managers or negotiators must interpret not only words but also worldviews. Students in this course learn to recognize the important, yet often implicit, assumptions that govern business dealings in a variety of countries and cultures. A dividend of such awareness is deeper understanding of one’s own culturally determined perceptions. The results are marketable cross-cultural skills applicable in a broad range of business or professional contexts. Prerequisite: oral and written fluency in English. Limited enrollment. (Fall: Thursday beginning Sept. 3, 5:30-7:30 p.m.; Spring: Tuesday 7:35-9:35 p.m.)
