| Content
This interactive, selfreflective seminar in Diversity & Globalization is designed to familiarize students with many key factors affecting themselves in Multinational Corporations in today’s global world. In this course Diversity will not be restricted to Culture. We consider all Diversity differences such as Gender, Age, Disciplines etc (based on "Four layers of diversity, Gardenswartz & Rowe 1995). Therefore this course is about how organisations and individuals construct differences: how do organisations handle them, how do I handle them?

This module introduces into diversity management and globalization/global leadership with an interdisciplinary theoretical and individual approach. Historical development of the topics plus various theories based on system theory and individual concepts will be worked with. Another focus is the student her/himself and her/his biography with diversity in socialisation within various contexts (family, organisations, institutions etc.). We will apply various interactive learning methods in ranging from group discussions, to scientific work to practical offers as diversity diagnosis, changing perspectives, excercises etc.
