Managing HR in China’s increasingly diverse,
dynamic, and complicated environment is more challenging than ever
before. It's up to managers and supervisors to understand changing
workforce dynamics and manage effectively across cultures. In this
workshop, we will analyze the multicultural concerns that affect
relationships, communications, and performance, and develop strategies
for recognizing, developing, and motivating multicultural work groups.
You will learn to examine your own culturally developed interpersonal
orientation and behavior and overcome problems caused by different
patterns of communications, as we explore communications differences in
oral and written presentations, meetings and interviews, conflict and
negotiation. Through discussion, readings, and simulation,
students gain an overview of the tools and techniques available to
manage conflict and resolve disputes. Methods of negotiation,
mediation, and arbitration are discussed. Topics include
perception, motivation, decision making, delegation, communication, job
and organizational design, group behavior and behavior modification, and
administrative processes including organizational power and politics.

communication patterns, as well as the patterns of those around you.
