Cristiano De Angelis — Mon, 09 Dec 2024 00:00:00 -0500

Objective. To analyze the importance of creating relevant knowledge and experience through the development of cultural intelligence. Methodology. This paper conducts an integrative review of the literature on knowledge management, organizational intelligence, and cultural intelligence. Results. The culture-knowledge-intelligence model shows the importance of learning from other cultures to review beliefs, values, and assumptions and then organize an entire life with a new purpose, which provides not only meaning but also inspiration and motivation for continuous learning and achievement. Conclusions.

The main conclusion is that intelligence is more important than knowledge to promote development. Therefore, the barrier to accessing relevant knowledge in Brazil and its application can be overcome by a cultural intelligence model based on an exchange program similar to Erasmus and partnerships between companies and universities.

This is a valuable learning experience for a region characterized by numerous similarities in how governments manage and conduct economic affairs.

Billfrank Arroyo Bunzl — Mon, 09 Dec 2024 00:00:00 -0500

Research presupposes an ongoing analysis of human phenomena from the perspective of the researcher. This analysis leads to observing these phenomena through established theoretical lenses, which have been the product of the evolution of human thought and its interaction with the environment.

This environment not only nourishes the interpretive capacity of those who wish to go further in the ongoing search for knowledge but also asserts an inherent need in the role of the subject to identify, prepare for, and await tangible results from the questions surrounding their research problem or area of interest.

International business is a field of study that seeks to understand the dynamics, strategies, and organizational structures of companies that operate across national borders. It also encompasses the economic, strategic, and institutional factors that influence how and why companies participate in international trade, foreign direct investment (FDI), and multinational operations (Forsgren, 2017).
