Diversity and Cross Cultural Management
This module aims to develop insights into key elements of culture at individual, national and organisational levels. The purpose is to support cross-cultural capability and inculcate a global mindset by stimulating self-awareness and widening frames of reference, because cross-cultural sensitivity and literacy is core to the MSc in International HRM programme.

The module explores and evaluates key dimensions in formulating and implementing HR strategies in large, transnational and multi-national organisations
