Abstract

We live in an era of globalization where international activities between different cultures and intercultural communications and exchanges are becoming more common and are taking on much greater importance than ever before. Researches on cultural intelligence supply a new perspective and a promising way to reduce intercultural conflicts or obstacles. To date, no research on cultural intelligence has been empirically computerized. This research aims to invent a cultural intelligence computational model and to implement the model in an expert system in order to process cultural intelligence soft data through the use of hybrid artificial intelligence technology. This intelligent system represents a breakthrough in the cultural intelligence and AI domains. The purpose of this research is to support individuals and organizations in solving the intercultural adaptation problems that they face in various authentic situations.
