Intro

The course International Comm with Impact adopts a critical approach to organisational communication within global context. The course takes up the knowledge acquired in the previous key competence (eg. Teamwork and Project Management, People and Culture, Professional Communication), integrates and further develops it by delving deeper into organisational communication theory and research.
During the course the students link theory with practical case studies by theorising and implementing their knowledge, and by analysing, criticising and contrasting communication tools in specific business cases. The students’ thinking and beliefs are challenged, to prepare them for success in today’s organisational settings.
