ODL-675 Interventions in Multicultural Organizations4 semester credits
This course begins with an exploration of culture as the foundation of organizational inquiry. We will then move on to examine Self from a cultural perspective. Students address intervention techniques for multi-cultural organizations in trans-national contexts and in single locations with culturally diverse work forces. Critical evaluation of interventions includes reference to international cultural differences in approaches to human resource management. The course addresses ways that culture can influence the potential for individuals and teams to work in autonomous, self-organizing ways versus ways that culture favors more, such as hierarchical, tightly constrained lines of communication and control. Students design interventions for particular problems of their own choosing.
