As organizations are confronted with the need to engage with stakeholders from a variety of different cultural backgrounds, the need to understand the ways in which cultural imperatives play into individual and collective performances becomes increasingly important. Based on an integrated literature review, this article examines the following eight factors included in CI: Child Development, Cultural Institutionalization, Cultural Intelligence, Language Structure and Acquisition, Social Learning Theory, Religion, Social Capital, and Values Orientation Theory (VOT). It is from these factors that a conceptual framework is developed for future application in theory and practice in open innovation in international business.

As such, experts in numerous fields are still working to revise various systems and infrastructures to operate in a robust manner within the new realities of today. This article focuses on part of that massive effort by examining the methods used in teaching English as a Foreign Language (EFL) in non-English speaking countries and its potential impact on long-term economic sustainability and productivity since English remains the global business language. The article commences with an introduction to the realities of contemporary globalism that underscore the very purpose for this work, and the subsequent sections present and then synthesize all material to create a paradigm shift in thinking required for teaching EFL in non-English speaking nations.

This paper also elucidates workforce diversity in a transcultural context via evidence from empirical research and current corporate practices. Most business organizations today must successfully navigate in a constantly changing environment because of global hypercompetition to be sustainable. Effective DM within the context of SHRM is a key component of this goal. This paper synthesizes motivational CQ, the growing global skills gap, DM ''Best Practices,'' and Third Culture Individuals (TCIs) into a discourse not generally covered in the extant literature on DM.

The specific organizational function targeted in this work is international human resource management (IHRM). As organizations are confronted with the need to engage with stakeholders from a variety of different cultural backgrounds, the need to understand the ways in which cultural imperatives play into individual and collective performances becomes increasingly important. Based on an encompassing literature review, this article examines the following seven factors which should be included in CI: Child Development, Cultural Institutionalization, Cultural Intelligence, Social Learning Theory, Religion, Social Capital, and Values Orientation Theory (VOT). It is from these factors that a conceptual framework is developed for potential future application in IHRM theory and practice.
