As the marketplace becomes more "global," smart managers will be the ones who understand the role of culture in getting work done. Culture challenges us by assaulting some of our most basic assumptions about working, that is to say, how we communicate with each other to complete work successfully. Anyone interested in working internationally--or even those just interested in better understanding their communication with international friends--would benefit from the course. Each student is asked to do an in-depth study on communication in one culture while learning the principles of intercultural communication. The course explores the rules that govern communication in other cultures, how people in different cultures give feedback, plan and make decisions.

Businesses operate in a competitive global marketplace that judges them against the standards of "more, better, faster." If a business is not doing more, or doing it better, or doing it faster, the chance of it surviving in the competitive global marketplace will become remote. Those companies that not only survive, but also thrive, recognize that to do it "more, better, faster" requires imagination and creativity. The purpose of this course is to help you master the skills of imagination and creativity. Toward that end, we will identify common "blocks" to creativity and innovation in business. In addition, we will upgrade your imagination skills and identify strategies and techniques to enhance your personal and professional creativity.
