Descriptif

The course integrates and focuses on Eco-literacy and Intercultural competence in the context of 21st C management and global citizenship. The course’s philosophy is founded on the concept that managers have to be able to cultivate intercultural competence skills to manage diversity in global business relationships with clients, employees, partners etc. But equally, if not more importantly, given the current climate crisis, to be able to better manage the most important relationship/stake-holder perhaps of all, MOTHER NATURE and the planet. Therefore, the student will learn about the integrated importance of intercultural competence and eco-responsibility (Eco-Literacy / Carbon Literate). An integrated management approach is relevant in this context as management’s imperative must be to strive to manage in an efficient and effective manner as possible the diverse relationships of not only the people who inhabit the planet, but also the planet itself. This course aims to equip the students as they launch their professional career paths with an increased awareness of the importance of intercultural skills, knowledge and competencies to integrate the twin objectives of being effective managers in the workplace while being effective global citizens with regard to climate change
