This research uses immersive virtual reality (VR) technology as a training device to help narrow the existing knowledge gaps in CQ scholarly literature and corporate diversity training. A VR head-mounted device was used to capture qualitative and quantitative data from participants to conduct a mixed methods study. After participants engaged in the virtual simulation, a method triangulation approach - using deductive thematic analysis, word frequency analysis, sentiment analysis, and correlational analysis - was used to draw conclusions from their reflections on CQ development. Results revealed a convergence of participant statements, sentiments, and CQ scores. In addition, the emerging themes aligned with the behavioral, cognitive, and motivational dimensions of the CQ construct. A fourth theme - VR experience - also emerged from participant reflections. Sentiments concerning their immersive experience in VR were largely positive. Lastly, the quantitative scores obtained by administering the CQ measurement scale showed a high motivational CQ score indicating participant eagerness to continue engaging in the VR environment. The topical themes that emerged from this study offer theoretical contributions and practical guidelines for CQ scholars, management researchers interested in exploring VR, and corporate training managers.","PeriodicalId":46626,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Cross Cultural Management","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135823216","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}

There is an ever-growing debate on measurement issues and distinguishing the effect of doing business in countries with different cultural profiles. While the vast majority of studies focus on the implications of CD, the objective of this study is to investigate how the cultural profile in the host country affects the financial performance of foreign subsidiaries in Latin America. We employ a quantitative approach with panel data, including over 4200 firm-year observations of the same foreign subsidiary firms in the 10 largest economies in Latin America. We measure cultural profile of the host country using the four original dimensions of Hofstede's framework. Then, we estimate the effects on the financial performance of foreign subsidiary firms using the original scale and by splitting the scale (e.g. degree of masculinity vs degree of femininity) to compare the effects of the opposite poles of the cultural dimensions. The findings reveal that certain cultural characteristics in the host country profile (e.g., individualism and femininity) positively impact performance. In contrast, other cultural traits have a negative (masculinity and collectivism) or no significant impact (uncertainty avoidance). Also, the firms can adjust positively to high and low power distance scores in the host country. This study offers novel insights into the implications of national culture for financial performance by showing that the host country's cultural profile significantly impacts foreign subsidiary firms’ performance.","PeriodicalId":46626,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Cross Cultural Management","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135483417","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}

However, studies on the effect of such networks on multinationals' activities in Arab countries remain limited. The aim of this study is to examine the effect of informal inter-organizational business relationships on the satisfaction and performance of firms in Arab Maghreb countries. This research is based on a self-administered survey with 534 procurement managers from Morocco (n = 220), Algeria (n = 148) and Tunisia (n = 166). We used structural equations to test our hypotheses. The results showed that Wasta has almost the same effect on interorganizational relationship in the three Maghreb countries. Specifically, Mojamala (affection) does not influence the satisfaction of the B2B relationship within the three counties under study, while Hamola (reciprocity) and Somah (trust) positively influence this relationship. The analysis showed that the negative side of Somah has a negative influence on satisfaction only in Algeria. The results also showed that satisfaction positively influences the performance of Maghrebian B2B partners. These results show that the phenomenon of Wasta is rooted in the cultures of the Maghreb countries and underscore the need to conduct further studies to understand it and to raise awareness among multinationals that plan to do business with the local partners or those who are planning to relocate. Implications for IB, theory and policy are discussed together with the study’s limitations and suggestions for future research. Through this study, we contribute to the development of research on cross-culture management by showing the effect of Wasta as a cultural phenomenon on business relations in the Maghreb countries. Our research is the first to investigate the effect of the informal interorganizational relationship on the satisfaction and performance of B2B partners.","PeriodicalId":46626,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Cross Cultural Management","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2023-07-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42921302","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}

Despite its acceptance as a tool to enhance efficiency, effectiveness, and accountability, many continue to question its efficacy to enhance organizational performance in public services. This is because organizational performance problems continue to persist in the sector. How then can this persistence of organizational performance problems be explained? For some scholars, the answer lies in examining the behaviour of employees and thus moving away from the instrumentality of PM. While this is laudable, what influences employees’ behaviours for them to engage in activities that make nonsense of the existence of PM has not been greatly articulated. In this paper, we attempt to contribute to this discussion by focusing on how societal culture influences behaviour, which in turn affects management of performance both internationaly and across cultures. We, therefore, argue that the inability of PM to effectively achieve its objectives is due to the high prevalence of informal societal culture that influences behaviours detrimental to rational performance PM in the public sector. We examine these behaviours from Hofstede’s four cultural dimensions with a focus on Ghana.","PeriodicalId":46626,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Cross Cultural Management","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2023-07-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42293942","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}
