In the multinational context, diversity management essentially refers to heterogeneity of the workforce within and across nations. Addressing cross-cultural considerations in diversity management is thus seen as a strategic function for seeking competitive advantage. Culturally intelligent management and culturally intelligent workforce define the success of businesses today. Consequently, the leading business schools across the world are now training their students around building cross-cultural competence with strong interdisciplinary underpining thereby preparing them for future workplaces.
In this backdrop, ICccR & HRM, University of Jammu launched its 1-year Post Graduate Diploma in ‘Composite Culture Management’ (full-time), admission for which is now made through CUET complementing the aim of the Centre to become a place where there is no dichotomy between our values of diversity, inclusion and academic excellence.
