Research on the Cross-cultural Management Issues and Strategies of Jinan University
Abstract
“Orientated to overseas, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan†--- this school-running concept has made cross-cultural management an important issue for Jinan University (hereinafter referred to briefly as JNU). Through theoretical analysis on the forming process of cross-cultural conflict, we find that problems such as language gaps in teaching and daily management, inadequate cross-cultural exchange on state culture level and regional culture level still remain in terms of the school’s cross-cultural communication and exchange. To resolve these existing cross-cultural management issues, a conflict resolution mechanism is designed in this article to help JNU seek out alternative solutions accordingly. We have also provide three decision criteria to evaluate all these identified alternative solutions and finally determine the optimal and most workable solution strategies.
