Research over the last quarter century has shown that leadership and management theories and practices are important variables in organizational success, but are also strongly related to the cultures in which they are grounded.  This course will explore how leadership and management are related to the concept of culture in general, i.e. across multiple cultures.  Then we will examine how concepts and theories of organizational leadership are conceived and practiced in three major geographic/ cultural regions of the world: the United States and Canada; Europe (basically the expanded European Union); and East Asia (China, Japan and South Korea).   Of necessity we will utilize both scholarly research/publications and the more thoughtful "general media" writings on the topic.
