Intercultural Management

Studienverlauf

Globally operating organizations are critically aware of the need for culturally competent, responsible leaders. Our program offers both the scientific basis as well as the methodological, practical skills that excellent leaders need for managing projects, people, and environments in our globalized world. We build our program on the understanding that effective intercultural management requires innovative strategies and a strong understanding of human interactional behavior, and that organizations value teachable, adaptable and responsible leaders.

This program is based on international leadership skills, interactional behavior, and important tasks such as creating successful strategies. It brings together a wide range of academic disciplines, in order to explore the cultural complexities and diversity of our current times, from a variety of conceptual, academic and professional perspectives. We encourage you to better understand such complexities, your own cultural selves, and your interactional competence in a transnational context. Our program is designed to form top-notch graduates who are able to blend cultural theory with practical business strategies and best responsible practice.
