Learning and Tensions in Managerial Intercultural Encounters: A Dialectical Interpretation
提出用黑格尔自我意识辩证法来理解西方管理教育在后苏联国家引发的跨文化接触过程，认为冲突从群体间、人际间转向个人内部，从而深化现有理论。
The article develops the literature on the dynamics of intercultural encounters in the context of western-led management learning in post-Soviet countries. The article is conceptual but the frameworks it proposes are informed by the authors' `learning histories' of their participation in a project to start a new management college in post-Soviet Azerbaijan. It is suggested that the various perspectives, or stages, in such encounters that are identified in the literature may be understood as a dialectical process that parallels Hegel's dialectics of self-consciousness. It is argued that this interpretation strengthens existing conceptualizations by adding new insights; such as that movement through the dialectic occurs by diminishing the horizons of intercultural conflict from inter-group through inter-personal to intra-personal tensions.
