Comment/Description

Learning Outcomes / Competences:
Subject-related competencies:
After successful participation in the course, students will be familiar with diverse theories and constructs in the field
of intercultural management. Students will develop an in-depth understanding of various cultural dimensions as well
as the conflict potential and enrichment associated with cultural diversity in the context of international business
relationships.
Methodological competencies:
Students are able to analyze business issues from the perspective of different cultural circumstances and present
approaches to solutions in a structured manner, taking into account different cultural dimensions. They are familiar
with relevant practices for dealing with intercultural encounters and issues.
Interdisciplinary competencies:
Students learn to think multi-perspectively and to solve problems considering different cultural dimensions. Students
are sensitized to cultural and religious diversity and are able to apply what they have learned not only in more
advanced courses at the Faculty of Business and Economics, but beyond - including the students' everyday lives.
Key competencies:
Students are able to systematically analyze issues from international business life as well as problems from everyday
professional life in an international context. In doing so, they understand how to reduce international issues to their
