The success of employees who are not U.S. citizens, yet work for American companies, has become critical.

Abstract:

Knowledge sharing is an important element of knowledge management initiatives in organisations. It is well established in literature that cultural issues play an important role in influencing knowledge sharing practices. This research addresses cultural aspects that influence knowledge sharing within an academic environment. A single case study approach was adopted to explore the influence of culture on knowledgesharing practices within a Kuwaiti higher education institution known as PAAET.

This was accomplished through the development of a model based upon the cultural values discovered through the use of Hofstede's (1980, 2001) Values Survey Module 94 (VSM 94).

The museum's design approach to the interior however is not successful. The research surrounding the artefacts, the learning experience of the visitor and the exhibition design should all be linked.

Abstract:

<p> Researchers in cross-cultural pedagogy often invoke the work of Hofstede (1980; 1986) and Hofstede, Hofstede, and Minkov (2010) to explain variation in classroom behavioral norms across countries (e.g. Cronjé, 2011; Li & Guo, 2012; Tananuraksakul, 2013). Although Hofstede' s model of culture was developed from IBM employee surveys to facilitate cross-cultural management, Hofstede explicitly suggests that his findings can be generalized to student and teacher behavior in the classroom. The present study tests this suggestion by administering an online survey to university student

Whilst the ascendancy of the state and the securing of education as a central state concern proceeded ultimately with the sanction of the state and in ac

Abstract:

This study adopted an exploratory mixed method approach to explore Bhutanese teachers’ knowledge and perceptions of autism, their views about inclusion and use of inclusive classroom practices for autistic students. The analysis of survey and interview data brought to light discrepancies between teachers’ knowledge and practice in inclusive schools but indicated that teachers had adequate knowledge about the characteristics and etiology of autism and inclusive strategies. Classroom observations revealed that teachers’ implementation of inclusive practices in schools was limited. Teachers’ view

The first article, a grounded theory look at underlying methodologies and ideologies in co
