cross-culture

write about cross-culture to your teacher and advise him about what should be taken into account when communicating to the global audience

Purpose of assessment 2:
This assignment is a group project. Students should form groups of (optimally) five. The assignment will require students to showcase their understanding of the different dimensions of Cross Cultural Management. The key objective of this project is for groups to develop a deeper understanding of a specific cultural environment of a given country and its implications for managers based on the topics discussed in class, thus developing global management skills.
Group Project Outcomes
The key outcomes of this group project are:
• the demonstration of an ability to discuss and analyse the contents of this module;
• the exploration of the different dimensions of the global cultural environment;
• the identification of the main issues and challenges relating to culture and its impact on facing businesses today;
• the completion of a group project on cross cultural management, which is a comprehensive business report on the application of the course concepts within your own workplace or one with which you are familiar.

The key cross-cultural theoretical themes of the project are Country Values and Determinants, and Theoretical Dimensions by Hall, Hofstede, Globe, etc… However, I am open to suggestions from students as to potential areas of interest.
Apply the cultural theories to the chosen culture.
*** Look at the Hofstede Dimensionsand World Values Survey to find background
info (see last slide). Other theoretical perspectives. Tropenaars, Globe Project,
etc., must also be included.
Apply your cultural analysis above to the Global Management Skills topics discussed in class.
Given that the focus of the project is Cross Cultural Management, there are a number of chapters in the textbook specifically on Global Management Skills that can be used as a template for each section: Situation, Organisation, Communication, Negotiation, Leadership, Motivation, Teamwork, and HR. Your theoretical analysis should inform each one of these potential topics. Note: it is your decision to focus on the number of topics that interest you; you may analyse them all, or indeed you may choose to just analyse one topic or more and do so at a deep level.
• Conclusions must be an analytical synthesis of all of the above about the cultural environment for business in the given country/region.
