Journal Title: FOCUS: Journal of International Business - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
Cultural competence is the capability of an individual to work efficiently with people from different cultural backgrounds. Culturally competent employees become globally proficient. We aim to assess the cultural competence among middle management employees from footwear companies in China and India. This study design is a cross sectional survey method using cross cultural competence inventory. We collected data from 30 middle management employees each from China and India. This study examined the relationship between demographic factors and cross-cultural competence within those countries and then conducted a comparison between China and India. The results reveal that higher education level and increased work experience leads to higher level of cross cultural competence.
