| Course Abstract: |
Success in the 21st Century will be linked directly to one's ability to understand global trends and work with people from other cultures. However, many Americans know little about the developing countries where they’ll compete, collaborate and find future consumers of their products.
Globally competent individuals project an appreciation and respect for people from other cultures and can work effectively with anyone, anywhere in the world. They also project an image of a globally competent organization. Whether your goal is recruiting and retaining international staff, creating productive cross-cultural teams, or marketing to the 3 billion emerging consumers around the world, those with a global perspective have a competitive advantage. |
