20110 Transnational Management

Description

This subject introduces concepts and capabilities that are critical to navigating the complexities of managing in transnational contexts. It integrates frameworks and practices from diverse disciplinary areas, such as cross-cultural psychology, social psychology, organisational behaviour, and international human resource management, to help students address the major challenges (and opportunities) of global management.

An important learning outcome of this subject is how culture influences students' (and others’) assumptions, perceptions, attributions and behaviours, and therefore how it shapes managerial practices. The content and activities in this subject are designed to help students develop awareness and competencies to more effectively communicate, collaborate, manage and lead in culturally-diverse transnational settings.
