Management across Cultures (P01297)? Credit Points : 20 ? SCQF Level : 11 ? Acronym : MSE-P-MACMSC This course responds in particular to the increasing need of future managers, working in a globalised economy, to acquire cross-cultural skills and competencies. Furthermore, the course intends to stimulate a critical discussion of cross-cultural issues that often seem to be neglected even by the management of multinational companies.
