International Leadership and Organizational Behavior

Business and non-profit leaders are increasingly collaborating across national borders and in multi-cultural settings. You could be a member of a widely distributed cross-functional team, or an expatriate manager on an international assignment, interacting with clients or suppliers on a regular basis. You may be a part of a worldwide online community or a development aid worker working with a global network of partner organizations. In all of these situations, your leadership performance is determined by your ability to comprehend and manage individual and collective actions in an intercultural setting.

This International Leadership and Organizational Behavior course will examine the theory and practice of international and intercultural leadership and organizational behavior with the help of a team of Bocconi specialist academics and Bocconi graduates. Social science research has uncovered systematic differences in your behavior across cultural contexts, allowing you to function more effectively across boundaries. Psychology, neurology, sociology, and anthropology, as well as communication studies and management scholarship, can help you understand what influences individual and group decision-making, how to establish and leverage social networks, and how to improve team performance. And the shared practical experience of international leaders allows you to identify concrete steps to enhancing intercultural leadership competence, and to be cognizant of common leadership challenges. This is one of the Best Online Business Psychology Courses.

Learning about organizational behavior provides a great opportunity to develop your leadership skills and to reflect on your own behavioral tendencies. How do you usually make important decisions? What motivates you and how do you try motivating others? How successfully do you leverage and integrate diverse skills and views in a team? Do you prefer professional relationships with a close-knit group of trusted colleagues, or with a far-flung network of acquaintances from all walks of life?
