“I enjoyed the class a lot. This course was definitely a lot different from regular business courses, but I believe that cross-cultural management can only be taught through interacting with other foreign students, comparing media, or simply discussing various cultural aspects in class or through instructional videos. The concepts that we learned in this course will definitely help me a lot in my future career in international business.
