Dr. Karen Stock is an Associate Professor in the DeVille School of Business at Walsh University in North Canton, Ohio. Since 2014, she has regularly taught business courses in London with CCSA and has also served as a program director for London Late-Summer programs, and the London Dublin winter program.
London is considered to be one of the most culturally diverse cities in the world and offers a unique balance of old and new ways to conduct business. We will explore concepts of management and organizational behavior by visiting historic landmarks such as the Churchill War Rooms and the Tower of London. We will visit established businesses that continue to thrive such as Fuller's Brewery and Lloyds. We will also uncover new start-up businesses in this dynamic, ever changing city. All locations are designed to provide students with a well-rounded perspective of the global community and a greater understanding of cultural differences.
"This course offers a combination of faculty led visits and meetings with business professionals and student led independent project work. We focus on identifying cultural differences students encounter and experience based on organizational behavior topics such as motivation, conflict, and leadership." - Dr. Stock
