Across all courses, learners engage with research-driven perspectives and methods, building a comprehensive grasp of culture’s role in global management.
This Specialization is based on the book, The Sage Handbook of Contemporary Cross-Cultural Management, by Betina Szkudlarek, Laurence Romani, Dan V. Caprar, and Joyce S.
