Tapping the Limitless Potential of Multicultural Collaboration



Hosted by: Professor Nancy D. Erbe (California State University, USA) and Dr. Anthony H. Normore (California State University, USA)
Date: February 26, 2015
Time: 4:00 pm (EST)

Today's technologies have changed the way we communicate, allowing new opportunities for global collaboration never before thought possible. However, confronting and attempting to master cross-cultural communication can be intimidating.

In the February edition of IGI Global’s Online Educational Symposium Series, California State University professors Nancy Erbe and Anthony Normore will address a variety of approaches along with several practical tools that improve cross-cultural effectiveness. Including the latest from the emerging interdisciplinary field of negotiation, conflict resolution, and peace-building, as well as educational leadership, the presenters will critique existing barriers and provide case studies from around the world, showing how organizations are more effectively addressing the needs of those underserved.

A reflection of the editors' forthcoming title Cross-Cultural Collaboration and Leadership in Modern Organizations, as well as Professor Erbe's April release Approaches to Managing Organizational Diversity and Innovation, this presentation will introduce and explain several of the most important tools and perspectives offered in this area.
