Course content and
structure |
The aim of the course is two-fold. On
the one hand it will build up students’ oral communicative skills
in Chinese. The course will enable the students to present and
discuss management issues in general, as well as to strengthen
their Chinese skills pertaining to the negotiation process. On the
other hand the course will provide the students with insights into
management practices in China, as well as the intrinsic dynamics of
negotiation process.
The course will focus on theoretical and practical issues regarding
organizational and management practices in China. More specifically
these issues will be dealt with from the situational and practical
perspective of negotiation. The competencies and the knowledge
needed to correctly analyze the dynamics of the process includes a
clear understanding of the business environment and its actors;
i.e. to grasp the historical, social, and cultural background of
the actors; a high proficiency in intercultural communication. The
course will take the student through the various stages of an
aspect of a management process, and these will be dealt with both
theoretically and practically. Whenever appropriate cases will be
used to illustrate and further explore the workings and practices
of management in a Chinese context. |
Teaching methods |
The course will be taught in a
seminar style cum lecture format. You are expected to have read the
material in advance and be prepared for discussing it in class.
Intensive class discussions will be supplemented by lectures, and
outside speakers. If there is any Chinese management issues that
catch your attention we would encourage you to bring it up in class
for discussion. It may also be helpful to keep abreast of the
latest developments in Chinese management. |
