Our effort focuses on the development of a process of cross-cultural peer coaching through which we have sought to grow as reflective practitioners and strengthen authentic conversations between two individuals, from Poland and the United States. By building a theoretical framework around peer coaching, intercultural interaction, and auto-ethnography we have worked to make explicit our development as educators working to enrich the process of the organizational learning and to make education more open, democratic and human. As Kottler [1997] claims, it is possible to find stages that a tourist goes through during the process of recognizing and knowing another culture that was used to mirror the sensation of the professional growth. The findings shed light on how peer coaching might be strengthened, as well as the development of an observation protocol to structure such reflective and, ultimately, life changing work.

Development and geographical expansion of multinational corporations makes it more complex and more often we are dealing with cultural diversity within teams of employees. Mutual cooperation of foreigners and local staff raises many intercultural interactions, both negative and positive. The purpose of this article is to identify the benefits and weaknesses arising from intercultural interactions between foreigners and local staff in the German subsidiary operating in Poland. The research procedure was a case study and a method was 12 structured interviews with Polish managers. Research problems concerned the general perception of Polish managers in relation to cooperation with foreigners. The respondents indicated the benefits and problems of this cooperation, as well as practical guidance (advice) to improve these interactions.

Crossing borders features prominently as a theme in study abroad, not only in terms of students’ physical border crossings but also in their intercultural interactions with second language (L2) speakers whose background (linguistic and otherwise) they may perceive as markedly different from their own. Researchers have had a long-standing interest in study abroad participants’ interactions with other L2 speakers abroad for their perceived potential to enhance L2 development, L2 motivation and intercultural learning processes. The focus of existing studies in this area has been on the interactions of study abroad participants with host national students, while their interactions with other international students who are also L2 users abroad have received far less attention, despite the ever-growing international student populations at European universities. This study examined students’ views regarding the role that lingua franca (LF) interactions with other international students played in their L2 acquisition, their L2 motivational development and their intercultural learning during study abroad. The data were derived from an empirical study that involved 81 German ERASMUS students who were studying in the UK for up to one academic year. The students’ views were elicited at the end of their stay with open-ended questionnaire items, and their verbal responses were analyzed using thematic content analysis. The analysis of the students’ reflections revealed a number of functions in each of the three areas, highlighting the potential of international student interactions as a viable source of L2 acquisition, L2 self-motivation, and intercultural learning during study abroad.

The aim of the paper is to depict the role of thriving in intercultural interactions as an antecedent of organizational creativity and innovation in multinational corporations (MNCs). The theoretical framework for the discourse is based on social learning and social cognitive theories, cognitive dissonance and information-processing theory. The paper is a conceptual type and its relevance to the topic of corporate entrepreneurship is emphasized. It both portrays the theoretical background as well as summarizes the results of the studies on thriving, creativity and innovation in intercultural interactions, proposing a conceptual framework concerning the above links. Finally, it provides conclusions and directions for future research. The paper emphasizes that an inevitable component of thriving – learning – is an immanent part of interactions with culturally different others and an antecedent of organizational creativity and innovation, which are inherent elements of corporate entrepreneurship. 142-155

Celem artykułu jest przedstawienie roli prosperowania w interakcjach międzykulturowych jako poprzednika organizacyjnej kreatywności i innowacji w korporacjach wielonarodowych (MNCs). Bazę teoretyczną rozważań stanowią teorie społecznego uczenia i społeczno-poznawcza, dysonansu poznawczego oraz przetwarzania informacji. Artykuł ma charakter koncepcyjny. Zawiera także odniesienia do zagadnienia przedsiębiorczości korporacyjnej. Opisano w nim założenia teoretyczne oraz podsumowano wyniki badań dotyczących prosperowania, kreatywności i innowacji w interakcjach międzykulturowych, proponując koncepcję pokazującą związki między nimi. Wreszcie zawarto wnioski i wskazano kierunki przyszłych badań. W artykule podkreśla się, że integralny element prosperowania – uczenie się – jest nieodzownym efektem interakcji z przedstawicielami innych kultur i poprzednikiem organizacyjnej kreatywności i innowacji – składowych przedsiębiorczości korporacyjnej.
