Seminar content
The seminar offered was called “Managing Plurality: Self-­‐Leadership In The Global Organization”
This seminar is built around the perspective that management and organization in the 21st century is
more than ever characterized by multiple rationalities rather than a singular rationality, and such
rationalities are always context dependent. The ‘reality’ of organizational life is never simply ‘out there’
presenting itself in a clear, self-­‐explanatory manner, and thus, management is much more than
acquiring linear prescriptions and systematic solutions.
What better time to introduce this perspective of knowledge and learning than when students are
thrown into a new environment, where, as cultural strangers, they will be forced to question the taken-­‐
for-­‐granted?
Skill seminars
You will have the choice among many skill seminars. You need to validate at least 2 full days (1 ECTS
credit) during your semester at NUS (you can however validate part of them in NUS and the outstanding
credits later in Cologne).
