Description:

This course provides a comprehensive foundation for understanding, interacting, and successfully managing today’s multinational and multicultural organizations. It covers a wide range of issues ranging from assessing the international environment, exploring various cultures and communication methods, international negotiations and decision making to the creation of a global management team and international strategy formulation and execution.  

 

Objectives: Saudi business is international business with corporate profits generated from abroad. Yet potential business revenues are lost every year because company managers ignore the expectations of people in foreign cultures, and the way that they do business. This course will address this challenge by expanding the student’s knowledge about employees, management, and organizational behavior to encompass the entire world. This course will provide a framework for understanding cross cultural differences and using such knowledge in developing country specific management practices and policies. Moreover, it will provide a guide for dealing with strategic issues associated with cross national environments, organizational design, and adaptation, as well as those concerns of social responsibility and ethical behavior.
