For homework, please:
- read the files "management styles 1" and "intercultural teams" in the "management" folder on Ilias and complete the accompanying exercise files.
- read the files "management styles overview 1_2" and "management styles overview 2_2" and "coaching and mentoring 1_2" and "coaching and mentoring 2_2". What distinction do these pages make between coaching and mentoring? German uses has adopted both of these words as anglicisms. Does German use these words the same way English does?
- read the file "problems with the team" and answer the questions included after the dialogue. Try to use specific business terms (esp. from the domain of management) in your response.
- review the content, class notes, and blog posts for the first six weeks of the semester (paying particular attention to the vocabulary introduced). Bring any questions you might have to next week's session.
The remaining files in the "management" folder are optional and intended for extra practice/extension.
