What is your perspective on racialization?

Final project: Individual contribution (25%) (around 1000 words)

The individual contribution will consist of a cultural/diversity self assessment and development plan.

Drawing from the relevant academic and applied resources, students will analyse their own experiences in the classroom and track and demonstrate their own development as cross cultural managers, drawing from the various relevant class concepts, particularly as applied to their interaction in the classroom and with their groups’ presentations.

As we have discussed in the class, self awareness is the foundation of effective cross-cultural management. To that end, your task in this paper is to analyze yourself in the classroom and group applying the key concepts addressed in the class and to reflection on your reactions to them and how your reactions (and evolution) will impact your effectiveness as a manager working in a global and diverse context.

Please note that the grade on this paper depends on: ● Completing all of the parts of the paper ● Thoughtful reflection that engages with the key issues related to cross cultural

management ● Application and use of class material. This requires that you cite the relevant articles (not

the slides) using the APA format. The Classroom page as well as the syllabus include many references that you can make use of, but you are free to do you own research.

1) Diversity profile: Please describe yourself making use of the following class concepts: a) Culture (apply at least 4 of the cultural dimensions (you can find it on class 3)

from the class material). This section requires you to engage in a reflection of yourself as a cultural being, addressing any notable differences between yourself and what is normative in the culture with which you identify

b) Cultural intelligence. Using the model of CI (class 2) used in class please reflect on your own cultural intelligence and any shifts you have noted during the time you have been at Geneva Business school (and this class). This should be a critical analysis, and include an assessment of your cultural intelligence profile

c) Intersectionality. This should include: i) Privilege and subordination. Where do you find yourself “situated” and

how might this impact your engagement with others? ii) Racialization: What is your perspective on racialization? How would you

say that you have been racialized? How does implicit bias impact how you–if at all–racialize others?https://classroom.google.com/c/NDU1MjE1NTgzNTA2/m/MjI4MjMwOTc4OTcz/detailshttps://classroom.google.com/c/NDU1MjE1NTgzNTA2/m/NDY4MTY4MTkzODI2/details

iii) Gender: What are your views on gender roles in the context of the workplace? Did our class discussions have any impact on your thoughts on these matters? What sort of gender role do you see yourself adopting?

d) “Other” aspects relevant to your diversity profile (age, cognitive style….) e) What did you learn about yourself in the context of cross cultural management in

this class?

2) Group and class analysis: What did you observe about our class interactions? a) How did culture (e.g. cultural dimensions) impact our interactions? b) Did we operate in a culturally intelligent manner? How could we have improved? c) How did racialization impact our class interactions? d) How did gender impact our class interactions? e) How did other sorts of diversity impact our class interactions?

3) CCM challenges and opportunities a) What would you say are the biggest challenges to effective CCM? b) What are the biggest opportunities for effective CCM?

4 ) Self and peer evaluation. Please use the following format. In each part you should put the grade and a brief explanation that clearly justifies the grade. It is of course possible that you believe everyone participated equally and deserves the same grade. Please indicate as much,
