Doctoral thesis of Philosophy: Cultural intelligence in the transnational education classroom: The case of Australian accounting academics

Whilst the level of CQ and the factors that influence CQ have been investigated among business students, it has not been applied to the academics responsible for their education. In the context of CQ, there is a lack of knowledge regarding the capacity or preparedness of university academics to deal with the increasing phenomenon of multiculturalism in the classroom. This research addressed this gap through an examination of the level of CQ exhibited by Australian accounting academics. The overall aim of this research was, therefore, to assess the extent of CQ, and develop insight into the ways Australian accounting academics exhibit and employ CQ in their TNE teaching.
