The globalization of business and industry generates an increased demand for global leadership potential. Managers of tomorrow need to be able to maximize organizational performance and business results in a complex, dynamic and changing environment. Yet, it is human interactional competences, and an ability to use cultures as a resource for global organizational effectiveness as well as knowledge, that differentiates successful leaders.
The purpose of the Cross-Cultural Management Faculty Group is to provide a platform for education and research in the field of cross-cultural management. The objectives of the CEMS faculty group are:
- To identify and cultivate key global competences of CEMS students, and prepare them to take leadership roles in complex settings
- To provide research based knowledge and practice applications, relevant to global business challenges
- To develop culturally intelligent leaders and globally responsible citizens
- To promote awareness, understanding and collaboration in a culturally dynamic world
- To teach how to to utilize complexity as an asset and an opportunity for achieving best results
- To lead innovation in the field of CCM education, research and practice
- To develop, share and disseminate knowledge in the field of Cross-Cultural Management
The Faculty Group welcomes all interested CEMS faculty members to participate and contribute.
An annual meeting took place at NHH in Bergen in May 2011.
A Block Seminar was organised by ESADE in September 2010.
CCM group’s Doctoral Workshop was held in conjunction with the Annual IACCM conference in Ruse, Bulgaria, in June 2011. Overall, 8 doctoral students participated in the workshop and the conference. Of the 8 students, three were from CEMS schools. All presented either a paper-in-progress that was discussed during the workshop or a more developed paper in the conference itself. Again, we received good feedback about the workshop from both students and faculty.
In terms of participating faculty, CCM FG members included Jacob Eisenberg (UCD), Roger Bell (ESADE), and myself, Marie-Thérèse Claes (LSM). Fink from WU was there as co-organiser of the event. Wolfgang Mayerhofer, WU and as the president of IACCM , could not come because of illness. Also from WU, Daniel Dauber, editor of the EJCCM (European Journal of Cross-Cultural Competence, was present. In addition, RSM was represented by Slawomir Magala (RSM).
