The Distinction between Stable and Dynamic Cross-cultural Competencies: Implications for Expatriate Trainability
Existing research fails to distinguish between stable cross-cultural (C/C) competencies (e.g., personality traits) and dynamic ones. Yet, stable competencies may constrain trainability in the dynamic C/C skills that are critical for C/C adjustment. Accordingly, this distinction is drawn using Black & Mendenhall's [1990] 3-dimensional typology of C/C competencies as a framework. Operationalizations for the C/C competencies are suggested. The practical and theoretical implications for expatriate management are then discussed.© 1999 JIBS. Journal of International Business Studies (1999) 30, 709–725
