Methods (*)We require our students to prepare for class, i.e. read the required texts in order to be able to contribute effectively in class. As issues in the field of cross-cultural management are best learned in practice, the course has been designed to be interactive (group work and follow-ups with the rest of the class) and builds on the cross-cultural composition of the students in class. In addition, the course looks at case studies, critical incidents, and role play to stimulate experiental learning and in-class discussion.
