Note: This course may be taken only after successful completion of XICP0214 Intercultural Communication: Dimensions of Culture, or a similar course.
After successful completion, participants are able to describe their own culture in the objective, comparative terminology of the cultural dimensions models in question. They are able to flesh out this comparative picture of their culture with observations about its historic development and its everyday realities.
Sisältö
Participants acquaint themselves with the Culture Dimensions Models by Geert Hofstede and Fons Trompenaars. They use the models’ paradigms (culture dimensions) to produce a comparative picture of their own culture in a global context. They then discuss the realities encountered within their culture using the categories offered by these models.
