    Hola,

    I am creating a course on managing international diversity. It takes a
    somewhat different perspective to culture. We are trying to introduce
    notions of how a firm deals with managing a culturally diverse workforce by
    trying to go beyond courses that simply look at how to do business in a
    certain country.

    For example...

    - how a firm deals with expatriates in its home country and when it ships
    employees abroad.
    - a comparison of how a US firm deals with its international work force, at
    its US locations and abroad, vs how a French or Chinese firm may do so
    - how dealing with different cultures may vary in an M&A, alliance,
    greenfield, or export-import context, among others.
    A syllabus or article suggestions would be of much help!

    Sorry for cross postings.

    Thank you for your help,
