This course is really amazing and great. You will learn different strategies, techniques, tips, lessons on how to negotiate and it will open your eyes to the hidden beauty of cultures around the world. Professor Javidan is a professional teacher and gives inspiration with his presence on the screen. When I was studying I waited impatiently for the next module...and the next...and the next to watch video lectures with professor Javidan. What I am saying to you is: You will get quality materials to study but professor Javidan makes the course a magical adventure and experience. So this is an awesome course.

This is one of the most interesting and useful courses for professional and personal development I have ever taken. You will meet and work together with people from different parts of the world. Professor Mansour Javidan and the Course Team have done an excellent job in preparing and providing high-quality reading materials, videos, content, and stimulating discussions throughout the course. The course lectures (videos), content, examples and assignments help you learn a lot about different cultures, communication styles, and business practices around the world, which is very useful and practical, especially if you're working with people from different countries and continents.

The skills and knowledge can be immediately applied in your daily work and personal interactions. The course helps you reflect on your professional and personal experiences, expand your horizons, and develop your global mindset. Finally, it is a cool and fun course, and it helps you become a better and more effective person. Highly recommended!

To begin with, 'Hats Off' to Mr. Javidan and others who helped him with such an exemplary course. I had an opportunity to take this course( though had registered as Audit only), but had a 'mentor' like a partner for the course as the course requires us to work together from the Day 01. The content was really amazing, up to date with real-life examples and videos from top-notch professionals with in-depth knowledge and global experience. The content was convincing and powerful and truly reflects today's way of operating in the global/international business. The chapter/content are arranged ina perfect order to keep the link or flow. Needless, the course is bit challenging and required a substantial investment of time

In short, would suggest anyone interested in improving their global skills and would particularly to get a certificate ( enroll with the paid option if possible).

The course was an excellent opportunity to work with a global cohort of students as we explored the world of cultural dynamics. We learned all about key elements and their crticical importance in order to develop and grow effective leadership skills. The course content and assignments offered an engaging and challenging programme which required direct collaboration with students from a different culture. This was a perfect opportunity to further appreciate the strengths and challenges of global diversity for leaders preparing for international projects. . Sadly the timing of the live feedback sessions clashed with my working schedule in China but the recordings made up for that. Many thanks for a great learning experience.

Communicating and Negotiating in a Dynamic Global World was an amazing and great course for me. I am particularly thrilled by the teaching and lecturing style of Professor Mansour Javidan. The course was as much fun as it was a learning opportunity for me. I enjoyed every part of the course. I am excited and glad to say that because of the course, professor Mansour and the course team, my leadership journey received a major boost. I have been able to improve on my global mindset and have insight into dealing appropriately with colleagues and acquaintances from other cultures by relating with them on the basis of their acceptable cultural practices and not just from only my national culture lens.

Taking this course was one of the highlights of 2020 for me, i got to grow not only my knowledge base but my network as well.

The course is structured in such a way that it enables easy understanding and continuous interactions with the other students taking the course. Each module was thought provoking. It allowed me to look at the world through different eyes, being culturally aware and appreciative of our individual cultural lens. Everything I learnt from Prof Javidan was new, , fascinating and easily applicable.

It doesn't matter if you take the course as a verified student or as an audit student on edX, it is impactful and transformational.

This is one of the best courses I've taken. Prof Javidan's teaching approach is very understandable. From his lectures, videos and interviews, I've learnt the nitty-gritty of having a global mindset, the peculiarities of each culture and how to communicate and negotiate successfully in different cultures.

The partnership approach of the course is also a great one which gave me the practical experience of how to communicate with someone from a different culture. I recommend this course to anyone, any leader who wants to succeed in cross-cultural settings.

I took this course starting the second half of this year. I did not imagine all the resources, tools and information I was going to received. I enjoyed a lot connecting with other team members from other parts of the world. Perhaps are video-record class, Dr. Mansour has the ability to drive you all over the concepts without realizing that you are in front of a computer. His classes where magistrales and the time we spent with him in virtual meetings was tremendously worthy, he offering specific tips and insights about all the topics in the class.

Professor Mansour is engaging and extremely knowledgeable. His teaching assistants are equally as engaging and collegial, and fostered an incredibly interactive course. After only a couple of weeks, business and management professionals will find themselves re-evaluating some of their own biases and approach to management. I thoroughly enjoyed this course – the live sessions added a new layer of engagement, and made the time and dedication to this class worth it. Highly recommended!

I have taken and completed this course in 2020 and I must say the way Professor Javidan explains the subject with the use of excellent materials, interviews and examples, is world apart and is easy to understand.

we are also asked to work in a team with another student from another part of the world and it gives an excellent perspective in terms of culture and thinking.

I would rate this course 5 Stars and encourage everyone to take it.

The course was completely amazing. The interviews with different guests made it easily understood. I also developed a heightened awareness of cultural differences through this course. It has given me a sense of cultural empathy and also helped me accept these differences.

Finally, the course provided a much-needed connection with people from different countries all around the world. It was utterly transformational.

Hello Professor Javidan and the TAM582 Course Team.

I found the course extremely interesting, very educational and particularly pertinent to my work as a GM in a multi-cultural environment here in Asia. Thank you for the huge efforts you all make in passing this knowledge over to us. Because of you, Im very much a better and improved leader.

Thank you!

I took this class earlier this year as part of the MicroMasters program in Global Leadership and Management from the Thunderbird School. Our professor did a great job mixing up the content between videos and readings. I enjoyed the partner work assingments. This gave me the ability to build up those skills and interact with people from all over the world.
