Leaders of business and nonprofit organizations increasingly work across national borders and in multi-cultural environments.
You may work regularly with overseas customers or suppliers, be part of a globally dispersed cross-functional team, or be an expatriate manager on an international assignment.
You may be a member of a global online community or a development aid worker working with an international network of partner organisations.
In all of these contexts, your effectiveness as a leader depends on how well you understand and are able to manage individual and collective behaviors in a cross-cultural context.
In this course, together with a team of expert Bocconi faculty and Bocconi alumni, we will explore the theory and practice of international and cross-cultural leadership and organizational behavior.
Social science research has revealed systematic ways in which our behavior differs across cultural contexts, allowing us to work more effectively across borders.
Insights from psychology, neuroscience, sociology and anthropology, communication studies, and management studies enable us to understand what shapes individual and group decision making, what enhances or weakens team performance, and how we can build and use our social networks.
And the shared practical experience of international leaders allows us to identify concrete steps to improve intercultural leadership competence and be aware of common leadership challenges.
Learning about organizational behavior provides a great opportunity to develop your leadership skills and reflect on your own behavioral tendencies.
How do you usually make important decisions? What motivates you and how do you try to motivate others? How successfully do you harness and integrate diverse skills and viewpoints into a team? Do you prefer professional relationships with a close-knit group of trusted colleagues or with a wide network of acquaintances from all walks of life? If you really want to learn how organizations behave and make decisions and at the same time develop leadership skills, then this is the course for you.
We look forward to welcoming you and supporting you on this journey of learning and discovery.
