Can we develop a distinctly European perspective on intercultural management without simply importing frameworks developed in the English-speaking world?

To register

Many of today’s dominant approaches to cross-cultural management, Diversity & Inclusion (D&I), and organisational behaviour have been shaped by Anglo-American intellectual and institutional traditions. While these frameworks have made significant contributions, an important question remains: To what extent do they reflect Europe’s own historical, philosophical, and social psychology?

 European continental and Anglo-Saxon traditions have developed different ways of understanding the relationship between the individual and the collective, public and private life, citizenship, diversity, and the common good.

 Drawing on philosophy, history, anthropology, and management studies, this webinar will explore how these intellectual legacies continue to influence the way organisations approach cultural differences, inclusion, cooperation, and conflict.

 Rather than opposing competing models or questioning the value of Anglo-American contributions, the session invites participants to broaden the conversation: What might intercultural management look like if we approached it through a wider diversity of intellectual and social traditions?

 Could a more explicitly European perspective offer new ways of thinking about diversity, collective responsibility, and cooperation in multicultural organisations?

 This interactive webinar is an invitation to question familiar assumptions, exchange perspectives, and explore new possibilities for the future of intercultural management.
