business cultural Intelligence Quotient a five country study
Thunderbird International Business Review, 2018Co-Authors: Ilan Alon, Michele Boulanger, Julie Ann Elston, Eleanna Galanaki, Carlos Martinez De Ibarreta, Judith Meyers, Marta Munizferrer, Andres VelezcalleAbstract:Cultural Intelligence (CI) has often been linked to performance at the individual, team, and firm levels as a key factor in international business success. Using a new measure of CI, the business cultural Intelligence Quotient (BCIQ), our study provides empirical evidence on several key antecedents of CI using data on business professionals across five diverse countries (Austria, Colombia, Greece, Spain, and the United States). The findings suggest that the most important factors leading to cultural Intelligence, in order of importance, are the number of countries that business practitioners have lived in for more than six months, their level of education, and the number of languages spoken. We find that cultural Intelligence varies across countries, suggesting that some countries have a higher propensity for cross-cultural business interactions. By teasing out the common antecedents of BCIQ among professionals, our findings may help with screening and training professionals for international assignments. Future research may examine the environmental (country-specific) factors associated with a higher propensity for cultural Intelligence (such as immigration, cultural diversity, languages spoken, and international trade) to explain the effect of country of origin on cultural Intelligence in the professional community. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

the development and validation of the business cultural Intelligence Quotient
Cross Cultural & Strategic Management, 2016Co-Authors: Ilan Alon, Michele Boulanger, Judith Meyers, Vasyl TarasAbstract:Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to present a new instrument for measuring cultural Intelligence in the business context (BCIQ). Design/methodology/approach – The paper describes the process of the conceptualization of the model and the development of the instrument, the sample, as well as the validation of the instrument. Directions on the use of the instrument and future research are discussed. Findings – The instrument shows good psychometric properties and good predictive power and outperforms other publicly available CQ measures on a number of dimensions. Originality/value – The unique features and advantages of the present instrument are as follows: first, a refined factor structure compared to existing CQ instruments; second, use of objective cultural knowledge measures; third, applicability in the business and workplace contexts, thus rendering the instrument suitable for assessing cultural Intelligence among expatriates, employees, and global virtual team members; and fourth, improved relia...

topological modification of brain networks organization in children with high Intelligence Quotient a resting state fmri study
Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2019Co-Authors: Ilaria Suprano, Chantal Delonmartin, Gabriel Kocevar, Claudio Stamile, Salem Hannoun, Sophie Achard, Amanpreet Badhwar, Pierre Fourneret, O Revol, Fanny NusbaumAbstract:The idea that Intelligence is embedded not only in a single brain network, but instead in a complex, well-optimized system of complementary networks, has led to the development of whole brain network analysis. Using graph theory to analyze resting-state functional MRI data, we investigated the brain graph networks (or brain networks) of high Intelligence Quotient (HIQ) children. To this end, we computed the "hub disruption index κ," an index sensitive to graph network modifications. We found significant topological differences in the integration and segregation properties of brain networks in HIQ compared to standard IQ children, not only for the whole brain graph, but also for each hemispheric graph, and for the homotopic connectivity. Moreover, two profiles of HIQ children, homogenous and heterogeneous, based on the differences between the two main IQ subscales [verbal comprehension index (VCI) and perceptual reasoning index (PRI)], were compared. Brain network changes were more pronounced in the heterogeneous than in the homogeneous HIQ subgroups. Finally, we found significant correlations between the graph networks' changes and the full-scale IQ (FSIQ), as well as the subscales VCI and PRI. Specifically, the higher the FSIQ the greater was the brain organization modification in the whole brain, the left hemisphere, and the homotopic connectivity. These results shed new light on the relation between functional connectivity topology and high Intelligence, as well as on different Intelligence profiles.
