Abstract

The course is designed for fourth-year bachelor students, who major in “Intercultural Communication” and consists of two aspects: ‘Project Management in Intercultural Context’ and ‘Conflict Management and Resolution in Intercultural Business Environment’. The course is highly correlated with the courses “Intercultural Communication: Theory and Practice”, “Introduction to Organizational Communication” and “Corporate Culture and Business Communication” covered in the third year. The aspect ‘Project Management in Intercultural Context’ provides students with fundamentals of project management. Over the past 20 years, project management has proven to help modern organizations maintain a competitive edge. We consider intercultural contexts together with complex organizational communications most influential factors in project management. The aspect covers major project management concepts, which are reinforced by cases from various business spheres. Students will learn about methods and tools a successful project manager needs to initiate, plan, execute, monitor, control, and close a project. The aspect guides the student through technical, interpersonal and cultural skills necessary to manage a project efficiently. The aspect ‘Conflict Management and Resolution in Intercultural Business Environment’ provides students with fundamentals of conflict management. Since conflicts are everyday occurrences in people's lives, social groups and international relations, in all historic times, in all cultures, groups and countries, the quest for peace has been ongoing. Costs incurred because of conflicts are very high: human suffering, economic losses and moral degradation. The efforts made by humankind to live in peace give us insight to accomplish real results, transform conflicts and manage them positively. This aspect in conflictology presents empirical knowledge and insight on conflict resolution, transformation, mediation and management, for conflicts of all importance, be they interpersonal, intercultural or global, as well as helps to give future professionals knowledge and build skills in conflict management.
