Welcome to the website of the Excellence Centre for Intercultural Management at ESCP Business School! The goal of our institution is to deepen the understanding of intercultural and diversity-related issues in organisations and to translate the latest scientific insights into practice.
In the 1980s, the American economist and Harvard Business School professor Theodore Levitt popularised the term ‘globalisation’ by writing about emerging global markets and the advantages of standardised consumer products. More than thirty years later, this very phenomenon – globalisation – has had profound effects on business operations across the globe, and the cross-border activities of companies have made the concept of culture highly relevant to organisations and managers.
