About this course

Skip About this course

This course uses a dynamic and engaging approach to develop the skills for effective communication in international business settings. This course will include techniques and methods for handling interpersonal encounters in multicultural environments. You will learn best practices in negotiating globally, resolving disputes, and making decisions across cultural boundaries. Working in a global, cross-cultural role requires effective communication with individuals and groups from different parts of the world. The success of a leader depends on his or her ability to work effectively with people who may understand and react to situations differently. Therefore, the ability to communicate effectively is a critical requirement to dispute resolution, decision making and working across multicultural teams. Learners will leave this course with stronger communication skills, knowledge, insights and experiences necessary to be a successful international manager.

"Taking this course was one of the highlights of 2020 for me; I got to grow not only my knowledge base but my network as well. The course is structured in such a way that it enables easy understanding and continuous interactions with the other students taking the course. Each module was thought-provoking. Everything I learned from Professor Javidan was new, fascinating, and easily applicable." - Jessica Odera Muodozie

"This course is really amazing and great. You will learn different strategies, techniques, tips, and lessons on how to negotiate, and it will open your eyes to the hidden beauty of cultures around the world. Professor Javidan is a professional teacher and gives inspiration with his presence on the screen. When I was studying I waited impatiently for the next module...and the next...and the next to watch video lectures with Professor Javidan. What I am saying to you is: you will get quality materials to study, but Professor Javidan makes the course a magical adventure and experience. So this is an awesome course." - Stefan Stefanov

"This is one of the best courses I've taken. Professor Javidan's teaching approach is very understandable. From his lectures, videos, and interviews, I've learned the nitty-gritty of having a global mindset, the peculiarities of each culture, and how to communicate and negotiate successfully in different cultures." - Aanuoluwapo Babalola
