SIGNATURE COURSE "Virtual collaboration across cultures"

SIGNATURE COURSE "Virtual collaboration across cultures"

The ENGAGE.EU signature course “Virtual Collaboration across cultures”, organized jointly by the Norwegian School of Economics (NHH), Hanken School of Economics and WU Vienna University of Economics and Business, takes place online in Autumn semester 2024, with the workload of 5 ECTS.

Students will work in cross-university teams, applying the knowledge acquired in different sessions and will be coached by professors of ENGAGE.EU partner institutions: WU Vienna University of Economics and Business, Hanken School of Economics and NHH Norwegian School of Economics. The content of the course covers the topics of diversity and inclusion, leading globally distributed teams, design thinking, teamwork across cultures, remote work, cross-cultural management and communication. Students will gain knowledge of core concepts and theories on these current topics, improve interpersonal skills to collaborate and lead in intercultural and virtual settings, and make valuable experiences through cooperating with international students and experts from participating institutions.

WHAT PREVIOUS STUDENTS SAY ABOUT THE COURSE.

"I really enjoyed this course and how it was set up (…) I especially enjoyed the team talks discussions."

"Within this course I had the chance now to turn these theoretical skills into practice and to overcome my own culturally biased mindset to become more open towards other cultures."

"The course's emphasis on feedback as a vital component of leadership development strikes a deep chord with me."

 "This course has helped me to reflect on my personal behavior during group works in international teams (...) From a personal perspective I would even say that the change in my behavior even took stress away from me as I learnt that I do not have to be in the lead position all the time."
