About this presentation

Cross Cultural Leadership is a collaborative research seminar that examines what constitutes “effective” leadership across cultures. It is collaborative because the students are expected to provide some of the content. The weekly readings target particular aspects of cultural differentiation. Working within those topics, students are asked to describe aspects of leadership in particular cultures based on their research and/or personal experiences. The goal of the course is to help prepare students for business assignments outside of their native countries. Course deliverables include: active participation in the class, contribution of class content on a weekly basis and an end of course paper that explores some aspect of leadership across cultures.

How to study this deck

Economics slides love graphs. Before accepting any conclusion, identify the axes, the model's assumptions, and the variables held constant. The conclusion follows from the model, not from the world.

Undergraduate viewers should treat this as a scaffolding for deeper reading — the slides outline the territory, but the textbook chapters and primary sources remain the actual content.

Five questions to test your understanding

  1. What is the single most important claim on the first three slides, and what evidence is offered for it?
  2. Which slide could you remove without losing the argument? Which slide is load-bearing?
  3. Where does the deck switch from definitions to applications? Mark that transition.
  4. What would a student who already disagreed with the conclusion need to see to be convinced?
  5. Which two slides, if combined, would give the clearest one-slide summary of the whole deck?
