{"title":"When cultures combine: Leveraging intercultural resources in cross-border collaborations","authors":"Craig Thorrold","doi":"10.1109/ICMSE.2016.8365662","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/ICMSE.2016.8365662","url":null,"abstract":"Cross-border collaboration inevitably gives rise to intercultural challenges connected with the divergent values, expectations, behaviours and artefacts that the participants in the collaboration bring to its specific work settings. In intercultural management research and practice, these challenges have largely been conceptualized in conflictual or at least frictional terms1. Interculturality has thus been primarily posited as a cost factor, in that it is seen as inhibiting the efficient use of resources such as time, money, and human energy. Consequently, the discipline of intercultural management has for the most part set itself the goal of mitigating the challenges, in the negative sense, of cross-border collaboration, through the application of management strategies that seek to remove or at least reduce the obstacles to the attainment of organizational goals. These strategies typically seek to provide international assignees with knowledge of the immaterial and material elements of the national culture(s) whose members they will be or are already working with, along with a behavioural toolkit of ‘dos and don'ts’ to facilitate this interaction2. Underlying this conceptual and practical framework is an implicit understanding of the nature of culture and cultural identity that can be characterized as internally homogeneous, externally bounded and structurally static. Thus, as Wolf puts it, “we create a model of the world as a global pool hall in which the entities spin of each other like so many hard and round billiard balls”3. Similarly, and in spite of the perceived need to avoid stereotypes, individual cultural identity is conflated with that of the culture as whole. As critics of the so-called cross-national comparison model have pointed out4, however, this conceptual framework is essentialist and reductive, and specifically fails to reflect both the fluid and heterogeneous nature of culture, cultural identity and intercultural interaction5 and the importance of culture-independent contextual factors in international collaboration6. There has thus been a paradigmatic shift in the understanding of the basic terms of intercultural interaction, and this shift has led to a new set of perspectives on intercultural management. In particular, the theoretical elaboration of the possibility of cultures combining, rather than colliding, means that cultural difference has come to be perceived as not only a risk but also a resource that can be leveraged by applying the principles of diversity management7. In this way, the practical challenge of cross-border collaboration can be seen in positive terms, as the task of identifying and exploiting intercultural and contextual complementarities towards the achievement of organizational goals. Indeed, the positive aspect of interculturality can be taken one step further by applying the postcolonial concept of cultural hybridity8, which envisages the emergence of a new, synergistic culture that can transform ","PeriodicalId":446473,"journal":{"name":"2016 International Conference on Management Science and Engineering (ICMSE)","volume":"142 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-08-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123515292","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

With rationalization of the structure of listed companies and the development of the institutional investors, the mainland stock market is gradually becoming more mature. With the large number of mainland enterprises to be listed in Hong Kong, the mainland enterprises in Hong Kong stock market is growing dramatically. In the meantime, the economy of mainland and Hong Kong is connecting more intimately with each other. The capital transactions are getting more frequently and freely. The opening of Shanghai-Hong Kong Stock Connect program established connecting mechanism between the capital of Shanghai and Hong Kong, which has an impact on the linkage of Shanghai and Hong Kong market. The article analyzes empirically the co-movement changing of the common trade time stock price index before staring the Shanghai-Hong Kong Stock Connect program. It divides days from March 18, 2013 to March 18, 2016 to two stages. And then it makes coordination and error correction according to the daily data of the Hang Seng Index and the Shanghai Composite Index. And it dose the empirical analysation to the Granger causality test next. The results showed that it has linkage between Shanghai and Hong Kong after beginning the Shanghai-Hong Kong Stock Connect program. Particularly, Shanghai stock market becomes a guiding role to lead the Hong Kong market. With the degree of internationalization of the Mainland stock market increasing, the impact from International capital market on stock market is increasing. Meanwhile, possibilities of the risk of infection between markets will rise. Consequently, to response test of the international capital and the impact of exchange rate fluctuations and other factors, we need to further establish and improve financial market regulation mechanism.","PeriodicalId":446473,"journal":{"name":"2016 International Conference on Management Science and Engineering (ICMSE)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129553388","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Results based on a sample of 213 undergraduate students indicated that, perceived usefulness of TCM and subjective norms (social influence) significantly predict attitudes (trust towards TCM), and trust explained whether people would choose TCM, while perceived ease of use (conceptualized as patient-doctor relationship) exerted no effect on trust and behavior intention (BI). Besides, individuals with long-term orientation were likely to consider TCM as an effective way for health treatment and had more interests in TCM. Although female could be more easily influenced by social affairs, they did not have a higher preference of TCM.

Hu, Li-Hua Huang","doi":"10.1109/ICMSE.2016.8365635","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/ICMSE.2016.8365635","url":null,"abstract":"With the accelerated development of aging population and information technology, researches on the internet-based service for the elderly, especially for their psychological needs, have attracted great attentions of both academic and practical circles. Proper usage of Internet can bring many benefits to the elderly, like reducing the sense of loneliness and keeping positive attitude. But the literatures of how to improve the Internet usage lack special factors for the elderly. Under socioemotional selectivity perspectives, this paper took Internet communication service as an example to discuss the fitness between Internet-based service and the elderly's psychological needs, and empirically tested the hypothesis by focus group and an experiment. First, there are two types of the elderly's Internet needs: instrumental needs (e.g. autonomy, personal growth), and socioemotional needs (e.g. family solidarity, sense of belonging, positive experience). Both of them can improve the elderly's usage intention of Internet-based services. Under the instrumental needs, the elderly has stronger usage intention of non-communication services, while under socioemotional needs, the elderly has stronger usage intention of communication services. In addition, the older adults expect more positive experiences in the usage of Internet and have more socioemotional needs than the younger ones. Thus, the above results show that the elderly need more online communication services. Accordingly, the related institutions that aim at offering services for the elderly could make efforts on service design and pattern of activity to effectively promote the elderly's communication via Internet.","PeriodicalId":446473,"journal":{"name":"2016 International Conference on Management Science and Engineering (ICMSE)","volume":"94 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131513204","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
