- 6. TREY research II .ElementsofCulture • Culture can be broadly defined as the shared values, beliefs, attitudes, and behaviors of a group of people. It includes everything from the customs and traditions of a society to the language, music, art, and food of a particular group. Culture shapes the way people perceive the world, interact with others, and express themselves. • It is a powerful force that can have a significant impact on individuals and communities. Understanding the culture of others is important to communicate effectively and build relationships with people from different backgrounds (Kroeber & Kluckhohn, 1952). Language: The different languages spoken by employees, customers, and suppliers. Beliefs: The religious or philosophical beliefs held by individuals and groups within the company. Values: The principles or standards that guide behaviors and decision-making within the company. Norms: The unwritten rules and expectations that guide behaviour and interactions within the company. Customs: The traditional practices and rituals observed within the company, such as holidays or celebrations. Artifacts: The physical objects and symbols that represent the company's culture, such as uniforms or logos. 6 Definition of culture The elements of culture in the KFC company may include:
- 7. TREY research Cont’dElementsofCulture Cultural elements such as language, beliefs, values, norms, and customs can impact interactions with people from different cultural backgrounds in various ways. For example: • Language: Different languages can create communication barriers, which can lead to misunderstandings, misinterpretations, and even conflicts. Therefore, it is important to be aware of language differences and try to bridge the communication gap by using common language or translation services. • Beliefs: Different beliefs can shape people's perceptions, attitudes, and behaviors. For example, some cultures may place more importance on individualism, while others may emphasize collectivism. These differences can affect how people approach tasks, solve problems, and make decisions. • Values: Different values can shape people's priorities and goals. For example, some cultures may value achievement and success, while others may prioritize harmony and social relationships. These differences can affect how people view their work, their relationships with colleagues, and their approach to problem-solving. • Norms: Different norms can define what is considered appropriate behaviour in each context. For example, some cultures may value punctuality, while others may be more flexible with time. These differences can affect how people interact with each other and the level of respect they show towards others. • Customs: Different customs can dictate how people behave in social situations, such as greetings, gift-giving, or dining etiquette. These differences can affect how people perceive each other's intentions and behaviors and may lead to misunderstandings or conflicts. 7 How cultural elements impact interactions with people from different cultural backgrounds
- 8. TREY research Cont’dElementsofCulture • Language: The use of English as the primary language of communication within the company, as well as the various regional languages used in different locations. • Beliefs and values: KFC's beliefs and values may be reflected in its mission statement, which emphasizes customer satisfaction, quality food, and ethical business practices. • Norms and customs: KFC's norms and customs may include its dress code policy, the way employees greet customers, and the methods used to prepare and serve food. • Attitudes and behaviors: KFC may have a culture that values teamwork, hard work, and dedication to providing the best possible service to customers. Understanding and describing these cultural elements is important for developing cultural intelligence within the organization and improving cross-cultural communication and collaboration. 8 Identifying and describing cultural elements in the KFC company
- 9. TREY research III.Metacognitivestrategies • Metacognitive strategies are the techniques or methods that individuals use to monitor, control, and regulate their own thinking and learning processes. These strategies can help individuals become more aware of their own cognitive strengths and weaknesses and can help them adjust their learning strategies accordingly. • It can be broadly defined as the shared values, beliefs, attitudes, and behaviors of a group of people. It includes everything from the customs and traditions of a society to the language, music, art, and food of a particular group. Culture shapes the way people perceive the world, interact with others, and express themselves Flavell, J. H. (1976). • In the Metacognitive Strategies section of the training, we will focus on cognitive and metacognitive strategies that can be used to improve cultural intelligence. This includes mindfulness, self-reflection, and cognitive restructuring.: The different languages spoken by employees, customers, and suppliers. 9 Definition of Metacognitive strategies Strategies
- 10. TREY research Cont’dMetacognitivestrategies • Mindfulness involves being present in the moment, paying attention to one's thoughts and feelings without judgment, and increasing awareness of the impact of one's actions and behaviors on others. • Self-reflection involves taking time to reflect on one's own cultural biases and assumptions and developing an awareness of how these biases may impact interactions with people from different cultural backgrounds. • Cognitive restructuring involves challenging and changing negative thoughts or beliefs about other cultures and replacing them with positive ones. Through these strategies, participants will be able to improve their ability to understand and appreciate cultural differences, communicate effectively across cultures, and adapt to new cultural environments. Metacognitive techniques aid in decoding the learning process (Cultural Intelligence,n.d). Using various metacognitive techniques, it is possible to determine whether a person learns facts more quickly via analogy than by applying reasoning or vice versa. 10 Mindfulness, Self-reflection and Cognitive
- 11. TREY research Cont’dMetacognitivestrategies • The following are a few significant metacognitive techniques: • Reciting the lessons learned: While recalling the information that has ever been examined, it helps. This is a tool that KFC employees can use to learn the menu. • Creating a brief outline: This method of active learning involves creating an outline following the lecture or class. The KFC employees may learn how to achieve this using a variety of new menu options. • Self-questioning: Self-questioning provides an accurate depiction of whether a topic has been properly comprehended or not and whether it has to be repeated. • Mnemonic aids: When a mnemonic is created for the material, it assists with memory retention of numerous menu items for KFC. 11 Significant metacognitive techniques: significant metacognitive techniques:
- 12. TREY research IV.TheCulturalIntelligenceModel • The Cultural Intelligence Model is a framework developed by Dr. David Livermore to understand and develop cultural intelligence. It consists of four components: • Drive • Knowledge • Strategy and • Action These four components work together to help individuals and organizations improve their ability to work effectively in diverse cultural contexts. We will see detail below 12 Definition of cultural intelligence model
- 13. TREY research IV.TheCulturalIntelligenceModel • The Cultural Intelligence Model (CQ) is a framework developed by researchers Christopher Earley and Soon Ang to assess an individual's ability to function effectively in culturally diverse situations. CQ is defined as the capability to function effectively in a variety of cultural contexts. It is composed of four dimensions: It consists of four components: • Cognitive CQ • Physical CQ • Emotional CQ • Behavioural CQ • The Cultural Intelligence Model (CQ) provides a framework for assessing and developing an individual's ability to function effectively in culturally diverse situations. By focusing on cognitive, physical, emotional, and behavioural dimensions of cultural intelligence, the CQ model provides a comprehensive approach to intercultural competence. 13 Overview of the Cultural Intelligence Model (CQ)
- 14. TREY research IV.TheCulturalIntelligenceModel • As a global fast-food chain, KFC operates in many different cultural contexts around the world. To be successful in these diverse markets, KFC must ensure that its employees have a high level of cultural intelligence, or CQ. • KFC's employees must have cognitive CQ in order to understand cultural differences and adapt to local tastes and preferences. • In some countries, KFC may need to modify its menu items or marketing strategies to appeal to local customers. • KFC's employees must have emotional CQ to effectively navigate intercultural interactions. KFC employees must be able to recognize and manage their own emotions and the emotions of others in order to provide excellent customer service. • Communicate effectively with customers from different cultural backgrounds, and be sensitive to potential cultural differences that may impact customer satisfaction. • KFC's employees must have behavioural CQ to modify their verbal and nonverbal communication to fit the cultural context. 14 Assessing and improving CQ using the four components (cognitive, physical, emotional, and behavioural
- 15. TREY research Cont’dTheCulturalIntelligenceModel • Drive refers to an individual's motivation to adapt to different cultural situations actively. At KFC, it's essential to cultivate a sense of curiosity and openness towards cultural differences. KFC should encourage its employees to be curious about different cultural practices, beliefs, and values. Employees should be encouraged to embrace cultural differences as an opportunity to learn and grow. • Knowledge refers to an individual's understanding of different cultural norms and values. KFC should ensure that its employees have a basic understanding of the cultural norms and values of the markets where they operate. This knowledge can be gained through training programs, cultural immersion experiences, and research. • Strategy refers to an individual's ability to plan and execute culturally appropriate behaviour. KFC should develop a cultural intelligence strategy that considers the cultural norms and values of the local market. This strategy should include guidelines for how to communicate, how to make decisions, and how to interact with customers and employees. • Action refers to an individual's ability to adapt their behaviour to different cultural situations. KFC should encourage its employees to be flexible and adaptable when working in different cultural contexts. Employees should be trained to recognize and respond appropriately to cultural differences. 15 Drive, Knowledge, Strategy and Action
- 16. TREY research V.SelfEfficiency Definition of Self Efficiency • Bandura (1997) defines self-efficacy as "a person's belief that they can do a certain task or reach a certain goal successfully." It is a key part of cultural intelligence, which means being able to understand and work well with people from different cultures. Self-efficacy is an important part of cultural intelligence because it affects a person's motivation, effort, and persistence when dealing with people from other cultures. In this situation, a person with a high sense of self-efficacy is more likely to take risks, try new things, and keep going even when things get hard. This makes for better intercultural outcomes. Self efficiency at KFC • KFC is a multinational fast-food chain with a presence in over 100 countries. The company has to navigate various cultural differences in the countries it operates in. For example, KFC has adapted its menu to suit local tastes and preferences in different countries. In China, for instance, KFC offers menu items such as rice, egg tarts, and congee, which are popular in the country. In India, KFC has introduced vegetarian options to cater to the country's predominantly vegetarian population. • Self-efficacy is critical to KFC's ability to successfully adapt to these cultural differences. KFC's employees need to believe that they can adapt to local tastes and preferences and effectively interact with people from different cultures. For example, KFC's employees need to believe that they can communicate effectively with local suppliers and customers, understand local tastes and preferences, and adapt the company's products and services to suit these preferences 16

- 18. TREY research Cont’dSelfEfficiency • Self-efficacy refers to an individual's belief in their own ability to perform a specific task or achieve a particular goal. It is often considered to be a key factor in determining an individual's motivation, performance, and overall success. • Cultural intelligence, on the other hand, refers to an individual's ability to understand, appreciate, and effectively work with people from different cultures. This involves knowledge of different cultures, as well as the ability to adapt one's behaviour and communication style in a culturally appropriate way. • There is a relationship between self-efficacy and cultural intelligence. Individuals with high self-efficacy tend to be more confident in their ability to learn about and adapt to different cultures. This can lead to higher levels of cultural intelligence, as they are more likely to engage in activities that promote cross-cultural understanding and communication. • Conversely, individuals with low self-efficacy may feel overwhelmed or intimidated by the prospect of working with people from different cultures. This can lead to avoidance or disengagement, which can ultimately limit their ability to develop cultural intelligence. 18 Understanding the relationship between self-efficacy and cultural intelligence
- 19. TREY research Cont’dSelfEfficiency • Building self-efficacy in intercultural situations for KFC company employees can be achieved through a combination of training, exposure, and support. Here are some strategies that KFC can use to build self-efficacy in intercultural situations: • Cross-cultural training: • Role-playing exercises: • Exposure to diverse cultures: • Mentoring and support: • Celebrating success: By implementing these strategies, KFC can help its employees build self-efficacy in intercultural situations, which can ultimately lead to more effective communication and better customer experiences. 19 Strategies for building self-efficacy in intercultural situations
- 20. TREY research Cont’dSelfEfficiency • Self-efficacy and cultural intelligence are both important skills that can be improved with the help of certain methods and strategies. • People can improve their self-efficacy in cross-cultural situations by doing things like self-efficacy assessments, setting personal goals, and doing reflection exercises. Developing resilience and adaptability requires exposure to diverse cultural experiences, feedback, and self-reflection. • Building confidence and competence in cross-cultural interactions requires practicing and receiving feedback on specific skills such as active listening, empathy, and cross- cultural communication. • By enhancing self-efficacy and cultural intelligence, individuals can effectively interact with people from different cultures, leading to improved intercultural outcomes. 20 Self-efficacy Summary
- 21. TREY research 21 Conclusion Conclusion • Culture is a multifaceted and powerful force that shapes people's perceptions, attitudes, and behaviors. • By understanding and appreciating cultural differences, KFC can create a more inclusive and effective workplace and build stronger relationships with customers and suppliers from diverse cultural backgrounds. • Metacognitive strategies can be a valuable tool for individuals and organizations seeking to improve their cultural intelligence and effectively navigate cross-cultural interactions. • Developing cultural intelligence is critical for KFC's success as a global fast-food chain. • By incorporating the Cultural Intelligence Model into its training and development programs, KFC can equip its employees with the skills and knowledge necessary to effectively navigate cultural differences and provide excellent customer service across diverse markets. • self-efficacy refers to a person's belief in their ability to successfully perform a task or reach a goal, and it is an important part of cultural intelligence. • For KFC, self-efficacy is critical to successfully adapting to cultural differences in the countries it operates in. • To enhance self-efficacy, KFC can implement strategies such as cross-cultural training, role-playing exercises, exposure to diverse cultures, mentoring and support, and celebrating success. • By building self-efficacy and cultural intelligence, KFC employees can effectively interact with people from

Notes de l'éditeur
- Welcome and Introduction: Hello everyone, and welcome to the Cultural Intelligence Training. Our group name BUS 5211 002A, and we will be your facilitator for this session. We excited to be here with you all today to discuss how we can improve our overall cultural intelligence and enhance our interactions with colleagues, customers, and partners from diverse cultural backgrounds. As you know, cultural intelligence is becoming increasingly important in today's global and diverse business environment. It's not only about understanding different cultures, but also about being able to adapt to them, communicate effectively, and build trust and collaboration across cultural boundaries. During this training, we will explore the key elements of culture, metacognitive strategies for improving cultural awareness and adaptability, the Cultural Intelligence Model and its four dimensions, and self-efficacy and cultural intelligence. We will also have opportunities for self-reflection, group activities, and practice of specific skills.
- Learning Objective based on Elements of Culture: Identify and describe the key elements of culture, such as values, beliefs, behaviors, and communication styles, and how they impact interactions with people from different cultural backgrounds. Develop an awareness of one's own cultural biases and assumptions, and learn how to suspend judgment and approach cultural differences with curiosity and respect. Apply the knowledge of cultural dimensions, such as individualism-collectivism, high-low context communication, and power distance, to improve cross-cultural communication and relationships.
- Therefore, developing cultural intelligence involves understanding and appreciating these cultural differences, being aware of how they impact interactions, and adapting one's behavior and communication style to be more effective in cross-cultural situations. Identifying and describing cultural elements in the KFC company involves recognizing the various aspects that contribute to the company's culture. Some of the key cultural elements in KFC may include:
- Understanding cultural variations within a country is important because it can help individuals and organizations to better navigate cultural differences in the workplace and in society. By recognizing and respecting cultural differences within a country, individuals can build stronger relationships, foster greater understanding, and avoid misunderstandings or conflicts that can arise from cultural ignorance or insensitivity.
- Learning Objective based on Metacognitive Strategies: Develop and apply metacognitive strategies, such as self-reflection, mindfulness, and self-monitoring, to improve cultural awareness and adaptability. Build awareness of cognitive biases and learn how to regulate them in intercultural situations. Develop a growth mindset towards cultural intelligence and embrace opportunities for learning and growth in cross-cultural interactions.
- Therefore, developing cultural intelligence involves understanding and appreciating these cultural differences, being aware of how they impact interactions, and adapting one's behavior and communication style to be more effective in cross-cultural situations. Identifying and describing cultural elements in the KFC company involves recognizing the various aspects that contribute to the company's culture. Some of the key cultural elements in KFC may include:
- SMART evaluation • Specific: Here, precise objectives may be set. For instance, a summary with bullet points must be prepared on 1 page in the allotted time after reading a 10-page lesson. The objective is clear in this case because the summary must be written in bullet points on a single page. • Measurable: This one may fall short for a number of reasons, including the fact that the learning objective in the sample synopsis above can be quantified quantitatively but not qualitatively, suggesting that there may be problems with the quality. • Achievable: The objectives established here are doable. For instance, following learning, an achievable objective of retention is set, such as providing a summary rather than immediately beginning to answer complex inquiries on the material. • Relevant: Metacognitive methods include the setting of relevant targets. For instance, after studying, the goal is to evaluate one's own understanding of the material, not how well others are understanding it. • Time-bound: As part of metacognitive methods, time-bound goals are established so that the lesson is prepared, presented, and then evaluated to see if the learning objective has been accomplished or not. This is done neither too quickly nor too slowly, but in a sufficient timely manner.
- To summarize, the Cultural Intelligence Model provides a framework for understanding and developing cultural intelligence. The model's four components (Drive, Knowledge, Strategy, and Action) work together to help individuals and organizations adapt to different cultural contexts. By applying this model, KFC can develop a cultural intelligence strategy that enables it to operate effectively in diverse cultural contexts
- Cognitive CQ: The ability to understand cultural similarities and differences, as well as the ability to comprehend and reason through cultural issues. Physical CQ: The ability to adjust one's nonverbal behaviour to fit different cultural situations, including posture, gestures, facial expressions, and eye contact. Emotional CQ: The ability to recognize and manage one's own emotions and the emotions of others in intercultural interactions. Behavioural CQ: The ability to modify one's verbal and nonverbal communication to fit the cultural context.
- Cognitive CQ: The ability to understand cultural similarities and differences, as well as the ability to comprehend and reason through cultural issues. Physical CQ: The ability to adjust one's nonverbal behaviour to fit different cultural situations, including posture, gestures, facial expressions, and eye contact. Emotional CQ: The ability to recognize and manage one's own emotions and the emotions of others in intercultural interactions. Behavioural CQ: The ability to modify one's verbal and nonverbal communication to fit the cultural context.
- Learning Objective based on The Cultural Intelligence Model: Explain and apply the Cultural Intelligence Model, which includes four dimensions - cognitive, physical, emotional, and behavioural - to improve cross-cultural communication and collaboration. Learn how to assess one's own and others' cultural intelligence and develop strategies to bridge any gaps. Apply the Cultural Intelligence Model to specific intercultural situations, such as negotiating with customers or working with colleagues from different cultural backgrounds.
- Learning Objective based on Self-Efficacy and Cultural Intelligence: Assess and improve self-efficacy in intercultural situations, using specific techniques and strategies, such as goal-setting, visualization, and positive self-talk. Develop resilience and adaptability in intercultural situations, by learning how to cope with ambiguity, uncertainty, and cultural conflicts. Build confidence and competence in cross-cultural interactions, by practicing and receiving feedback on specific skills, such as active listening, empathy, and cross-cultural communication.
- Goal-setting Goal-setting is one of the most effective techniques for enhancing self-efficacy. By setting specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound (SMART) goals, individuals can focus their efforts and track their progress, leading to a sense of accomplishment and increased self-confidence. In the case of KFC, the company could set SMART goals for its employees, such as increasing sales by a certain percentage or reducing customer complaints. By achieving these goals, employees would feel a sense of accomplishment and develop confidence in their abilities, leading to increased self-efficacy. Visualization Visualization is another technique for enhancing self-efficacy. By creating mental images of themselves successfully performing a task or achieving a goal, individuals can increase their belief in their abilities and reduce anxiety and self-doubt. KFC could use visualization techniques by providing employees with examples of successful sales pitches or customer interactions and encouraging them to visualize themselves in similar situations. By visualizing success, employees would feel more confident and capable, leading to increased self-efficacy. Self-talk Self-talk is a technique for enhancing self-efficacy that involves using positive affirmations and self-statements to increase confidence and reduce self-doubt. KFC could help its employees talk to themselves in a positive way by giving them a list of affirmations or telling them to come up with their own. By talking to themselves in a positive way, employees could reduce anxiety and self-doubt and boost their confidence in their skills, which would lead to a higher sense of self-efficacy. Modelling Modeling is another technique for enhancing self-efficacy. By observing others successfully perform a task or achieve a goal, individuals can increase their belief in their abilities and learn new skills and strategies. KFC could use modeling techniques by providing employees with examples of successful customer interactions or sales pitches and encouraging them to observe and learn from their colleagues. By observing successful behaviors and strategies, employees would feel more confident and capable, leading to increased self-efficacy. Feedback: Feedback is a technique for enhancing self-efficacy that involves providing individuals with information about their performance and progress towards a goal. By getting feedback, people can change how they act and keep track of their progress, which boosts their confidence and sense of self-efficacy. KFC could give employees regular feedback on how they are doing, such as ratings from customers or sales numbers. By getting feedback, employees could change how they act and keep track of their progress, which would boost their confidence and sense of self-efficacy.
- Cross-cultural training: KFC can provide its employees with training that is focused on developing cross-cultural communication skills. This can include training on different cultures, their values, customs, and norms. This will help employees understand how to interact with customers from different cultures in a respectful and appropriate manner. Role-playing exercises: KFC can use role-playing exercises to simulate intercultural interactions. This can help employees practice their communication skills in a safe and supportive environment. Role-playing can help employees build confidence in their ability to handle intercultural situations. Exposure to diverse cultures: KFC can provide its employees with opportunities to interact with people from diverse cultures. This can include arranging cultural events or festivals at the restaurant, inviting customers from different cultures to share their experiences, or organizing cultural exchange programs. Exposure to diverse cultures can help employees understand and appreciate cultural differences. Mentoring and support: KFC can assign mentors to its employees who have experience working with customers from different cultures. Mentors can provide guidance, feedback, and support to help employees build their self-efficacy. KFC can also provide support through internal resources, such as a cultural liaison or an intercultural communication hotline. Celebrating success: KFC can recognize and celebrate the successes of its employees in intercultural situations. This can include praising employees who demonstrate cultural sensitivity or who successfully resolve an intercultural conflict. Celebrating success can help employees build their self-efficacy by reinforcing their confidence in their abilities.
