Abstract
The purpose of this article was to examine current cross-cultural training (CCT) research, using the lens of “East Meets West.” The two research questions guiding our inquiry are (a) What are the major themes discussed in the existing CCT literature? and (b) What are the emerging issues that need to be addressed? Using the integrative literature review method, we first identified four themes: theories/conceptual frameworks, expatriate adjustment, CCT methods, and the effectiveness of CCT. We found that previous CCT research lacks the “East Meets West” perspective. Four issues need to be incorporated into future CCT research, namely, family factors, cross-cultural assessment, domestic versus international assignments, and trainer quality. This article purports to make three major contributions to the existing literature: (a) identify gaps in the literature, (b) expand the perspectives of CCT research from the lens of “East Meets West,” and (c) generate implications for research and practice.
