Abstract
The Global Management and Asian Values course focuses on opportunities and challenges created by globalization. Special attention is placed upon different tools and analytic competences available to the different specialized managerial roles when competing internationally. With integrated real-world examples, research, and practical applications, students understand how to adjust, adapt, and navigate the changing global business landscape and respond to global challenges-making it a market-leader. It examines cross-cultural and management issues related to management in an international marketplace with emphasis on Asian countries. The Asian managerial practices and systems (i.e., China, Japan, and South Korea) have been influenced to different degrees by Confucianism and have been developed under very different social and historical environments. Although these societies share a common East Asian culture with each other, each of them maintains a unique business culture. Studying and comparing cultural value systems and management among the Asian societies will expand the knowledge base of students and develop their critical thinking because the development of management systems of a country can be affected by its historical and political background, people’s cultural values as well as the globalization of management systems. The study of different cultural values and management systems shall also enhance students’ understanding of their own business culture and develop sensitivity toward and an appreciation of diversity in today’s globalized business environments.
