This course is a knowledge-based subject with additional tips for communication skills and regular practice on useful expressions in business. As the title suggests, this course has strong focus on cultural differences. The study of this course concerns how professionals from different cultures do things differently while performing a certain business function (which will be discussed as themes of the course) and how people can avoid or solve the intercultural conflict caused by such a difference.
This course aims to explore issues in cross-cultural differences, conflict and resolution in the multicultural business context. Through a case study approach and communicative activities, this course leads students to think critically, solve problems effectively, develop their overall communication skills and eventually enhance their intercultural communicative competence.
