COM 3002 Intercultural Communication Business, Communications & Liberal Arts Program Fall 2019 Semester - French Riviera

The global business environment demands that international firms and its employees be sensitive to intercultural communication. As students in an international milieu, the topic of the course could not be more pertinent. In fact, I think most of us would agree that through understanding others, a more peaceful, harmonious community is promoted. This course thus seeks to help students develop and hone their intercultural awareness and knowledge as it applies to communication in general, with a particular focus on various cultural attitudes to work, time, business, meetings, material possessions, and hierarchy. Students will be expected to actively partake in discussions and role plays. Intercultural dexterity will be introduced as a key to success in the international arena.
