Behavioural and
cultural expectations of
studying for a degree in
business management
The behavioural expectations has made
me aware about the life of student at
academic level before attempting this
module. But recently I got to know about
the impact of culture on the behaviour of
students. Students interact with other
students and teachers which enable them
to interact with different cultures after
attending colleges or institutions at
academic level (Kumar, 2019). This can
lead to have a different perspective about
the behaviour of students in classrooms
My interest in pursuance of Business
management course in order to become a
Marketing Manager has enabled me in
understanding and learning the future
expectations of cultural behaviour by
studying at academic or professional level.
The importance of behavioural and cultural
practices in student's life will enable one to
learn and observe the cultural and
behavioural practices which will help me in
interacting with kinds of individuals, as I am
interested in pursuing my course abroad. It
I will implement the method of behavioural and
cultural practices, when I will go abroad to
pursue my Business management degree. I will
implement this behavioural conduct being within
the time frame in order to maintain courtesy
towards my teachers and classmates the whole
time. In order to interact in a more appropriate
way, I will respect the cultural values and deal
with everyone in a decent manner (Jena, 2020).

Manager. I have observed that I need to
interact more frequently with my
classmates and teachers at academic level
as they belong to different cultures. This
frequent interaction with them will have a
huge impact on my behaviour. I expect to
move abroad in order to pursue the
professional course of Business
management which will enable me

smoothly with different individuals. I
will also be able to imbibe good
professional values and conduct from
professors of different cultures which
will help me in excelling in my business
management field. This has also enabled
me in learning the impact of one student
behaviour on other student’s learning and
behaviour. A positive behavioural
approach is developed in student which
encourages them to execute good
professional behaviour. In professional
working environment, students or
individuals must adhere the best values
for good professional conduct in
accordance to the cultural expectations
(Ducko, and Stewart, 2022). I have
observed that this had greatly influenced
the learning, remembering talking and
behaviour of the students by being a part

of diversified culture in classroom.
The necessity of
leadership skills and
working groups to
improve the experience
of learning
The importance of working in a team
with support of Peer-to-Peer has
improved the process of learning for
professional as well as academic life of
the students, by attempting this module. I
was only accustomed with learning from
professors and tutors before this
experience as one can even learn from
their colleagues and fellow students. But
after this experience, I have
acknowledged its importance for
collective efforts of all individuals in the
field of finance, Marketing, HR and IT in
the business management. This will help
in enduring appropriate knowledge with
the support of teamwork. The skills of
collaborative working of a team is very
essential in the professional life of

Peer has enabled the students to have a

also enabled to improve my work which

me to coordinate more well with my team

clarity in understanding my own views

them more clearly to my classmates
about their writing and to get their
assistance to complete the task. It will
also be very helpful in my professional
life by having a supportive mind set
towards working in a team in classroom.
This has improved my communication

understanding for development in the
work of team. This skill has also
