The research project Cultural Intelligence as a Strategic Resource studies how managers and employees in nine Danish companies and three public institutions experience cultural differences and talk about culture. It also explores how managers in Danish companies handle cultural encounters in their foreign affiliates and virtual multinational teams.

The three-year project, which is funded by the Danish Council for Strategic Research, was launched on 1 April 2008.

Professor Anne-Marie Søderberg, Department of Intercultural Communication and Management, is overall leader of the project, which includes 14 humanities and social science researchers from Copenhagen Business School (CBS) and Aalborg University (AAU).

Cultural Intelligence as a Strategic Resource consists of two projects:
1) CBS Project: Cultural Intelligence as a Strategic Resource in Managing Multinational Business Teams
2) AAU Project: Talking Culture - a study of discursive constructions of culture and their effect on interaction in professional settings.

Pro-rector Inger Askehave is leader of the AAU project.
