The literary Chinese cosmopolis by Wei, X

“…I compare Ch'oe Ch'iwŏn and Sugawara no Michizane for their cosmopolitan identities, transnational experiences, and diglossic worlds.

The effects of cross-cultural training on the acculturation process of the global workforce by Zakaria, Norhayati

“…This paper discusses the effectiveness of cross-cultural training in facilitating the process of acculturation, and in developing the culture-specific and culture-general skills needed to increase the sociocultural and psychological adjustments of sojourners and expatriates when they encounter a foreign culture.A new cross-cultural training model is created by integrating acculturation and training effectiveness models.This new model suggests that providing two different types of training program prior to cultural contact will help recipients to effectively modify existing culture-general and culture-specific skills.As a consequence, they will achieve a higher degree of sociocultural and psychological adjustment.Experiential training should trigger affective and behavioral responses, which are the basis of intercultural effectiveness skills, and thus enhance psychological adjustment.By contrast, cognitive training should trigger cognitive responses, especially cultural awareness and interpersonal skills, and enhance sociocultural adjustment.The globalization of markets, increased diversity of the workforce, and use of Third World nationals by transnational organizations have made issues of training important in the remainder of this decade (Bhagat and Prien, p. 216). …”
