| description | Although many studies were done in the past on expatriate adjustment issues, expatriate
performance issues have not been addressed systematically, particularly from individual
traits and capabilities perspectives by using relevant theories of intelligence. This paper
presents a conceptual analysis of "cultural intelligence" (CQ) by describing the features
of its four dimensions (four-factor model), which could be utilized for predicting
managers' performance in international assignments. CQ is a multidimensional construct
targeted at situations involving cross-cultural interactions arising from differences in race,
ethnicity and nationality. The paper concludes by discussing the implications of CQ for
future research and professional practice in HRD.
