Cross Cultural Management (7 cr)

Evaluation scale

0-5

Objective

The Cross-Cultural Management Academic Track (CCM), through its track courses and projects, adds value to the IB curriculum by incorporating cultural and social competences development, as well as the enhancement of general communication and academic skills.
The Track is ultimately intended so that the student can further differentiate himself or herself in the international business marketplace as a new graduate with practical research skills.

Content

Interactive and meaning- and student-centred approaches help to stimulate the dialogic and dialectic nature of intercultural communication. In-class studies are conducted in a workshop format, and students are typically expected to co-create and produce tangible results that reflect and bolster their learnings, in the form of teaching and learning tools for later use by other teachers and students.

Materials

Previously created materials and research help to inform and direct new development activities. The materials are continuously updated.

Completion alternatives

Reports and journals focus on reflective learning assessment. Products produced, such as student guides, videos or games, are assessed objectively through 0 to 5 grading.

Student workload
