The Practice of Management:
Global Perspectives in London and Paris
Apply by February 14
London and Paris, two of Europe’s most dynamic cities, provide an exceptional setting for exploring global management practices. This program, centered on “The Practice of Management” course (MGMT 210), invites students to immerse themselves in the rich cultural and business environments of these iconic cities. This course is ideal for Information Systems and Business Technology majors as it satisfies the MGMT 210 requirement, but is open to all majors.
Students will gain firsthand insights into how managers operate within different cultural contexts through structured and unstructured cultural immersion activities. Key highlights include visiting renowned companies and organizations in both cities, where top-level managers will present on their management practices and challenges. Students will analyze these real-world practices against theoretical concepts covered in lectures to understand the unique and universal aspects of management.
This study abroad opportunity is a fully loaded version of MGMT210, meaning your participation in this program will fulfill the same graduation requirement that taking MGMT210 on campus would. However, in addition to the 3-credits earned, you can also earn a Micro-Credential in “Intercultural Management Competency”. This is a “badge” that you can add to your resume which will demonstrate to potential employers that you possess a level of competency in understanding how culture influences the practice of management and is only available for the study abroad version of the course.
The course and program will be led by Dr. Sy Saulynas. Dr. Saulynas has had extensive experience in instructor led study abroad for students, having been involved in study abroad experiences since 2010…and most recently in January 2025 when he successfully led a study abroad version of MGMT210 to Panama.
He has seen, first-hand, the priceless value that these experiences bring to students like you. Therefore, ask him early and often about this wonderful opportunity…he loves talking about it! You can contact him, saulyn1@umbc.edu, if you have any questions.
