Huomaa! Kurssikuvaus vahvistetaan kahdeksi lukuvuodeksi kerrallaan ja esimerkiksi osaamistavoitteet, arviontimenetelmät ja keskeinen sisältö pysyvät pääsääntöisesti samana. Kullakin toteutuskerralla voidaan kuitenkin kurssiesitteen avulla tarkentaa ja muuttaa kurssin toteutustapaa, kuten kontaktiopetuksen järjestämistapaa, arviointimenetelmien painotusta tai materiaaleja.

SISÄLTÖ, ARVIOINTI JA KUORMITTAVUUS

Sisältö
  • voimassa koko opetussuunnitelmakauden:

    Many business students will soon be leaving the world of academia for a managerial job or expert position in a global company. Operating internationally often means crossing language boundaries. However, while English is a widely shared language among corporate elites at the apex of the organisation, local languages tend to rule lower down in organisational hierarchies as well as in subsidiaries of multinational corporations and in external customer-supplier relationships. In this regard, contemporary organisations are multilingual communities where employees need to interact to reach joint outcomes. Language presents itself in many different forms such as national, corporate, technical or digital. It defines hierarchies and power structures, facilitates integration and redirects career paths. It affects the ability of global companies to operate as single entities in pursuit of their overall strategy. Understanding this complex interplay between multiple facets of language and day-to-day operations of global companies is becoming increasingly important to business effectiveness. Therefore, it is fundamental for business students to understand and appreciate this management challenge.

     

    This block seminar will introduce students to language-sensitive management, which is rarely covered yet in management programmes at business schools. It offers an innovative approach to managing a global workforce. Through their participation in this block seminar, these future managers will become more attentive to the complexity and the subtleties of multilingual business realities, which will help them to become truly global and responsible leaders.
