  1. School of Administrative Science Petrocelli College of Continuing Studies, Fairleigh Dickinson University ______________________________________________________ Dr. Bub Kovacs’ International educational experience for Fall 2007……Barcelona, Spain Combine your love of learning with your love of travel! Join a group of students as we venture to Barcelona, Spain, cited as one of Europe’s most beautiful and livable cities. We will be staying at a centrally located hotel within walking distance of our academic partner the “Centro De Estudios Superiores” as well as one block from the main shopping, entertainment and dining district: “La Rambla!” This will be our third trip to this wonderful coast city. The program will have as its focus leading in the 21st century, where jurisdictions have less meaning and direct inter-organizational skills are paramount. This educational travel experience will be offered for both Undergraduate and Graduate credit in the BAIS and MAS programs, respectively. For leaders, managers, and supervisors to be effective, they must be aware of the varying degrees of diversity and the resulting impact on the workplace; this is increasingly important in a global context. Global Citizenship requires awareness of the challenges globalization presents. Special emphasis will be placed upon a study of leadership, ethical worldview, communications, and diverse sub-cultures presented from a global perspective along with political, social, and economic issues. Comparative studies of the different systems will be the focus of student coursework. This blended-model seminar will include various site visits designed to enhance the individuals’ understanding of the international issues that have a direct and indirect effect on current and long-term goals of an organization. Class communications prior to traveling will be set in an online format for readings, preparatory teachings and assignments. Class Topics will include: • The World is Flat Lessons from Thomas Freidman’s best selling text • Comparative Health Systems with a visit to Trias I Pujol Hospital • Municipal Law Enforcement- The transformation of the Catalonian Police • Municipal Management- Public Private Partnerships and land use planning • The Internationalization of Spanish Wine Industry • Building Relationships across national boundaries: Spain and China • International Commerce-Russia and the Commonwealth of Independent States
