In MGMT210, you will learn how the functions of management are affected by things like the external environment and culture. For this special study abroad version of the course, through a series of structured and unstructured cultural immersion activities (including meetings with managers from actual organizations in both London and Paris) you will get a chance to experience and reflect on how culture can have an impact on how decisions are made. The two-city format in particular, gives you the opportunity to experience and compare/contrast, not just one different culture, but two.
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 for completing MGMT210, for a little extra work 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.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Dr. Sy Saulynas (saulyn1@umbc.edu) who will be teaching the course and leading the program. Dr. Saulynas has been involved in study abroad experiences for undergraduate students since 2010 and 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!
