Culture and language affect international communication activities on multiple strategic levels, such as on the management level, the organizational level, and the marketing level. This course focuses on current issues in multinationals' global corporate communication practices by considering academic research on corporate and intercultural communication, in relation to real-life international business cases. Course themes include: corporate stakeholders, impression management, information processing, language choice, cultural adaptation and communication effectiveness.
