Crossing Cultural Boundaries
Sometimes we must take a step back and view cultural differences from perspectives different from what we're used to. Cultural boundaries exist everywhere. Differences can be found within one culture as well. Have you ever considered that a smile isn't just a simple natural response? In this unit we delve deeper into culture and the differences amongst various cultures, including corporate culture.

Team Rituals and Symbols
Rituals and symbols can be found in every team. They can evoke affect, or feeling, as you will see. Speech, or stories have symbolic meaning too and can do wonders to motivate a group of individuals. In this unit we will examine a number of rituals and symbols, as they exist in their various forms, and discover the way in which they are utilized in teams.

Very illustrative with excellent examples. The teacher connects anthropological concepts to common situations in business teams and business decisions.

This is my first course, but I have to say, I learned so many things from this course. The way professor Greg Urban, taught was marvelous. He made so many concept very easy to understand.

That was quite a fascinating course, at least for someone who does not know anything about anthropology. The tutor did an outstanding job and also provided good readings. Highly recommended.
