About
Goals
The major goal of this Course is internationalization & development of Cultural Intelligence (CQ) among Russian and exchange students. Students will acquire the necessary understanding what Cultural Intelligence is and how to use it in communication strategies and actions they take as managers, leaders and professionals. The special emphasis is placed on the skills required for effective cross-cultural negotiations. The Course supports internationalization of HSE and its status as a leading research university in modern Russia.
Objectives & Learning Outcomes
Students will learn basic ideas and models of cross-cultural psychology and their application. The Course offers practical training of communication skills, which facilitate usage of cross-cultural communication models and ideas in real situations. Key models of cross-cultural communication are discussed, helping to increase “cultural awareness” and SQ. Students learn international standards of modern professional quality communication. Culture is considered at various levels, such as industry, company, department, team, interpersonal levels etc., because today any environment is a cultural mix and there is a strong process of rapid transformations of homogeneous cultures into multicultural environments. Discussions of business cases and other exercises provide opportunity for the students to step up at higher level of cross-cultural competence.
