Abstract

This interdisciplinary study is conducted by a multilingual and international research team who studies how knowledge is transferred by expatriate managers and shared with Chinese employees in a subsidiary of a Western multinational company (MNC). It examines, through narrative inquiry and a taxonomy of intercultural learning processes, how and what a Polish female manager learns from critical incidents of knowledge sharing, and how she develops her understanding and creates sustainable work communities across linguistic and cultural boundaries.
