My fifth Executive MBA module at MSM this year was all about Global Responsibility. A very interesting yet complicated topic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“I learned the importance of creating a corporate strategy that improves relationships with all stakeholders in the same time while creating a better and sustainable business environment.\u201d.<\/p>\u2014 Mazin<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
Corporate Social Responsibility <\/h3>\n\n\n\n
The module on Global Responsibility consisted of courses in Global Responsibility & Ethics and Managing Cultural Diversity along with a work visit to Philips. I gained a better understanding of the interplay between business, governments and society in a globalized world. Customers, suppliers, employees, citizens and media expect companies to provide a contribution to the challenges of the 21st century such as climate change, resource scarcity and urbanization. Hence, I believe that organizations should consider social, economic and environmental issues in their strategy and daily operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHaving better understanding of CSR gives me the responsibility to help others become more aware, in addition to creating more value for customers as well as society\u201d. <\/p> \u2014 Mazin <\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
Managing Cultural Diversity <\/h3>\n\n\n\n
The Managing Cultural Diversity classes provided me with a conceptual and practical understanding of the role of culture and diversity in the achievement of an organization\u2019s strategy. The classes paid specific attention to the complexity of managing people in a cross-cultural environment. The course provided me with hands-on insights into the impact of cultural factors in management and business, intercultural communication, working with cross-cultural teams, and international HR management. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
