Course description
This course examines the differences and similarities in a variety of cultures and their significance to business management. The course prepares managers to recognise cultural values and practices and how these shape appropriate management behaviour. While the course is broad in focus, there will be a particular emphasis on the services sector. As the world becomes increasingly globalised, and as business becomes increasingly international in scope, it is important to be aware of and appreciate different cultural values and behaviours.
