Area of Science:

  • Social Sciences
  • Technology Management
  • Cross-cultural Studies

Background:

  • Culture shapes values, norms, behaviors, and decision-making processes.
  • Technology transfer and integration involve the exchange of knowledge and skills, inherently influenced by cultural contexts.
  • Unacknowledged cultural influences can lead to conflicts during technology deployment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a practical framework for detecting and resolving culture-based conflicts in technology transfer and integration.
  • To explore the relationship between cultural preferences and professional actions.
  • To analyze how cultural dimensions influence decision-making in technology adoption.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a seven-dimension framework to represent cultural preferences.
