Learning outcome / competences

Students understand the definition of culture and its application in global organisations. They are familiar with various cultural dimensions and standards, their creators and the limits of their use in practice. They can use important basic terminology and intercultural concepts. They are able to implement their knowledge appropriately in complex intercultural situations. Students have completed the first stages of intercultural competence development and have reflected on their progress.

They know concrete fields of application for intercultural management in organisational development, mergers and acquisitions, marketing, communication, negotiations, project management, leadership, team development and human resource development. Students are able to analyse and evaluate real-life case studies from intercultural perspectives.

Current intercultural topics can be independently interpreted using knowledge gained. Students also independently apply their knowledge to a concrete and complex case study.
