AUCC 210 -- Cultures and Transnational Corporations

The rapid globalization of modern technology and the world economy have made most relevant today a statement made in 300 B.C.: "I am not an Athenian, but a citizen of this world."

To be effective and successful in the future's international and interdependent economy/society, we need to know, understand and appreciate other people's cultures as they contrast to our own. Designed to help develop an appreciation of the challenge and the importance of cultural interactions, this course focuses on global companies and the cultural environments in which they operate, with special emphasis on cultural values and exchanges.

This course requires students to make connections among ideas from several disciplines such as anthropology, economics, ethics and politics. This broad topic is divided into a number of integral components including communication, values systems and spiritual beliefs and is linked to the history of and the prognosis for global companies.
