Testimonial
I joined the MIB program after I was promoted to a managerial position with a multicultural company. I work with not only Vietnamese people but also Czech people and people of other backgrounds. So one of the challenges I face is managing a diverse team. In my first semester, I learnt about contemporary issues in managing in a cross-cultural environment. The course revealed the kinds of problems that arise and provided solutions for what to do. It was very useful.
