What is Cross-Culture Management Course

Handbook of Research on Cross-Cultural Business Education
An educational experience, central in many business schools, designed to sensitize students to the existence of national cultural difference and its implications and impact on management and organizational practice. Originally centered on imparting knowledge of difference, the cross-culture management course is now considered by many as a key learning opportunity for facilitating intercultural communication, developing comparative international leadership skills, promoting global management competencies, and engendering a global mindset among participants.

Abstract
In many business schools, the cross-culture management course has become a central response to the increasingly globalized and internationalized world in which graduates will work. The core content, pedagogic assumptions, and anticipated learner outcomes of this course have changed over the last two decades, moving from the passive transmission of national culture knowledge to more active and responsive knowledge-creation that might better serve students in approaching cross-culture management challenges. In restructuring his cross-culture management course, the present author reflected on these shifts and on the national culture richness of the envisaged students. This chapter explores ways of utilizing the informal cultural learning and tacit national culture knowledge of course participants to create a learning experience that might be more useful for students who will engage in the international organizational and corporate world of the twenty-first century.
