Content Overview
Globalization has led to the rapid connection of internationally based employees from all levels of multinational companies. Where once an employee might have been expected to primarily collaborate with colleagues from his own country, today many people are part of global networks connected with people scattered around the world. Yet most managers have little understanding of how local culture impacts global interaction.
Leading Across Borders and Cultures demands active involvement in the uniquely multicultural environment that is the INSEAD campus. The content is based on INSEAD’s world-leading research in the field of global leadership – much of it carried out by the programme faculty members themselves.
