ADMN308 Multicultural Management

ADMN 308 Multicultural Management provides a framework for students to develop and practice the skills required to successfully manage or work in a multicultural workplace either in Canada or an in international setting. Culture and the ability to recognize cultural differences may influence an employee workplace behaviour, management style and job satisfaction. Sensitivity to cultural differences may influence the success or failure of a business venture, especially in an international context. Organizations planning an international operation must consider cultural influences when designing the organizational structure, workplace communication systems, rewards and customer interactions.

A combination of readings, case studies and role play will develop each student's ability to communicate and manage in a multicultural environment.
