Year: 2014
Type: dissertation
Abstract: their ability to develop further social capital through trust influence the cultural knowledge creation process.The HEIs, or the programs, are likely to support the process of cultural knowledge creation by creating and nurturing environments conductive to social exchange, network development and social capital creation, as well as exciting cultural curiosity among the students and encouraging cultural feedback and mentorship for the students from the faculty members and culturally competent student peers.The study identified four cultural learning strategies, among which the cosmopolitan one appears to be the most appropriate for longterm cultural learning and expertise development.The participants who employ it use continuous adaptation, regard change as normal, rely on creative thinking rather than rules, reinvent themselves and experiment with new identities, learn easily and use novel ways of thinking,The study applies the concepts of cultural knowledge development, social capital, social networks, global identities and cosmopolitanism.It provides tentative recommendations for IHEIs and multinational enterprises (MNEs) concerning how to promote cultural knowledge creation among their members.
