Abstract
This work investigates whether management accountants (MA) who have experience of working in multicultural environments are more open to share their knowledge, learning and insights with others or not. The study was conducted in early 2018 by using a Partial Least Squares-Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) technique with a sample of 107 MAs working in India in 7 different cities and in different multinational organizations. The research identified that coopetition mediated the relationship between cultural intelligence (CQ) and the intention to share knowledge (ISK) as evidenced by both PLS-SEM and fsQCA methods. This finding is significant for both theory and practice as coopetition involves both collaboration and completion amongst the MAs. The Multi Group Analysis (MGA) revealed no significant gender related differences amongst the practicing management accountants. The study also contributes to the methods by illustrating the modelling of the second order construct “cultural intelligence”, formatively. Thus, this study illustrates the use of second order reflective-formative constructs in management accounting literature, for exploring the theory. This architecture can be of significant use for future researchers.

Summary
According to Ang and Van Dyne [1], cultural intelligence (CQ) is the “capability. A. Varma of an individual to function effectively in situations characterized by cultural diversity” Professionals such as management accountants (MA) need to develop cross-cultural skills and competencies [2] to function effectively in a multi-cultural work environment. This study considers only those MAs who have experience of working in multicultural environments and are expected to be culturally sensitive and aware This is because prior works such as those by Crowne [7] suggest that work related international experience is related to CQ and engagement increases by interaction with people [8]. The following chapters highlight the results, the detailed discussion on the findings and the conclu-
