MGT 714 - Intercultural Communication in Business

(3 Credits)

This course is designed to provide students with the skills necessary to establish and maintain positive business relationships across cultures. Students will consider key aspects of intercultural communication theory such as proxemics, haptics, perception, formal and informal language, nonverbals, styles of argumentation, direct and indirect communication, power distance relationships, and high/low context cultures. Students will then apply that theoretical knowledge to practical business situations both within and across companies and cultures.
