MAN7129 Cross-Cultural Management Group Coursework Assessment Brief | BCU

You will be placed in a group by your instructor, with each group consisting of three students from diverse cultural backgrounds.

Additionally, you will analyse the differences in managers' decision- making processes, including their strategies for motivating employees, and connect your findings to the cultural dimensions covered in the course material.
