This course aims to equip students with the necessary skills to become effective and empathetic managers of people in dynamic multicultural environments. In the course, students will learn analytical frameworks that will enable them to gain deeper understanding of existing problems to do with inequality and diversity in contemporary Asian societies. The course will also help students to identify their personal cultural intelligence based on self-reflective assessment tools.
Students explored the various youth segments to identify various aspects of life that COVID-19 has brought a disruption to (such as economic survival, mental health, travel, connectivity, family dynamics, personal relationships etc), and recommended on how the organisation can organise programmes for youths to plan ahead and hedge against some of the potentially negative effects that may emerge downstream.
Students provided recommendations on programmes and ideas on how to better engage employees with diversity and inclusion topics within the company.
Students evaluated the gender and inter-generational diversity of the company, and recommended ideas on how they can better engage and promote their employees with such issues.
