Cultural Intelligence and Intercultural Cooperation : The Moderating Effect of Cultural Perspective Taking and Metacognitive Cultural Intelligence
Full text linkapplication/pdfCultural Intelligence（ CQ） is a relatively new concept that purports to measure an individual’s capacity to operate in intercultural situations. For organizations that wish to prepare their employees for expatriate assignments, or to train personnel for cross-cultural interactions in a domestic environment, CQ offers a quick solution to evaluate an employee’s readiness to work in these settings. An important aspect of cross-cultural management is cooperation among culturally diverse counterparts, and an important basis for establishing a healthy cooperative environment is trust. Studies have shown that trust can be enhanced by engaging in an explicit perspective-taking exercise （Williams, 2012）. However, these studies are rare in the cross-cultural management literature. This study explores the relationship between CQ and trust, and whether it is mediated by a cultural perspective taking intervention. The study was done by administering a survey to Japanese undergraduate university students（ n=73） in a global business management program. The method used to assess（ non-） cooperation was the likelihood to cooperate（ defect） in a prisoner’s dilemma. The instrument used to measure CQ was the CQ scale developed by Early and Ang（ 2003）. To evaluate the effectiveness of a perspective taking intervention, respondents were randomly separated into a control and treatment group. Results showed no statistically significant effect of a perspective taking intervention, and no correlation between cooperation and CQ. The results of this study suggest that CQ on its own may not be enough to predict cooperative behavior in a cross-cultural setting, and that a basic cultural perspective taking intervention will not have a significant influence on an individual’s cooperative behavior.departmental bulletin pape
Regional Policy for Solving Problems on the Economic System
Full text linkapplication/pdfAbstract Our life heavily relies on the economic system in many cases. The economic system has markets for goods and services, and markets for factors of production. Firms and households can be largely supported by this particular mechanism. However, there are several problematic issues due to an over-expectation to the economic system. The economic system works under various constraints, and it is not possible to cover all activities by this single specific tool. To improve our quality of life, regional policy that supports missing elements of the economic system may play an important role. This article reveals the relationship between regional policy and quality of life from the standpoint of welfare economics, and addresses policy remedies which may vary with observing regions.departmental bulletin pape
