4 5 and 6 May, from 9.00am to 6.00pm Inter-cultural Management Lecturer: Tim Baxter, MIB School of Management Intercultural Management looks at the three stages necessary to work successfully in diverse contexts. We begin with cultural awareness culture as an 'invisible glue that binds group behaviour. Next we move to cultural sensitivity - understanding when and how different cultural approaches clash and impact on relationships and situations. Finally, we look at a number of key cultural models that allow us to create tools to manage difference and leverage synergy. The course includes elements of team dynamics, conflict management and communication techniques. The objective is to move towards an approach that sees difference as a essential element to be explored, understood and utilized. This 'global mindset is not designed to create an in depth knowledge of any single culture as in cross cultural communication, but rather a general attitude towards diversity and change. A variety of simulations and exercises will be used to allow participants to move quickly from theory to controlled practice and align themselves with the needs of the specific context. 16, 17 and 18 May, from 9.00am to 6.00pm New Product Development Lecturer: Nicola Redi, Vertis SGR The course aims at highlighting the most relevant methodologies used in identifying successful new product or service ideas and bringing them into the market.
