Drawing on the works of Geert Hofstede, David Livermore, Stephan Branch, and Erin Meyer, this course introduces students to four complementary perspectives on cross-cultural competence: understanding cultural values, developing Cultural Intelligence (CQ), navigating cultural differences in organizational settings, and recognizing power dynamics in interpersonal communication. By the end of the course, students will be able to analyze cross-cultural situations critically, communicate effectively across cultural boundaries, and facilitate more equitable and inclusive interactions in professional practice.
