Program

A short study of local culture and indigenous behavior [“Indigenous and Cultural Psychology: Understanding People in Context (International and Cultural Psychology)” by Uichol Kim, Kuo-Shu Yang and Kwang-Kuo Hwang (Eds.)], helps student to understand some deep differences between western and eastern cultures, in particular Italian culture.
To succeed in an international environment, a global vision and an understanding of the complexity of the international playing field is required. Geopolitics and local cultures shape the milieu in which companies exist and operate and international managers must understand the uncertainty of international relations on Asian markets, especially post Covid 19.
This course aims to provide some requisite skills useful when analyzing the entry into a new foreign market. It considers both a developed and an emerging market. It highlights the opportunities and challenges to do business in India and Japan in post Covid economy framework.
Teaching Methodology will include:
- Lecture of press articles, given bibliography, web sites to visit, in-class group work, case studies, group assignments and interactive class activities, example of Italian companies already actives in these countries.
