초록

본 연구의 목적은 비교문화 연구에 비교적 새로운 개념으로서 Earley and Ang(2003)이 도입한 문화 인텔리전스(cultural intelligence : CQ)를 적용하여 중소기업 수출담당자의 문화 인텔리전스가 해외시장정보 탐색과 해외시장정보 활용능력(마케팅적응, 관계적응) 간의 관계에 어떤 영향을 미치는지를 분석하는 것이다. 구조모형 분석방법으로서 SmartPLS가 사용되었고, 94개 수출중소기업을 대상으로 실증적으로 분석한 결과, 문화 인텔리전스는 해외시장정보탐색과 해외시장정보 활용능력에 부분적으로 조절적 역할을 하는 것으로 검증되었다. 문화 인텔리전스의 선행요인으로서는 수출담당자의 외국어유창성, 해외출장빈도, 다국어구사력, 해외출장용무, 문화선행학습, 해외체류경험 등이 유의한 요인으로 검증되었다. 연구결과에 의거하면, 해외시장정보를 습득-이해-가공하는 과정에 문화 인텔리전스의 역할이 큰 것으로 추론할 수 있다. 따라서 다차원적 성격의 문화 인텔리전스 강화를 위해 기업 및 수출지원기관의 차별화된 문화역량 교육 및 훈련프로그램 개발이 필요하다.

One of the biggest challenges in export activities of SME is the increasingly cultural diversity that requires especially export managers to adapt their doing business in many different kinds of cross-cultural situations effectively. A relative newly developed concept 'Cultural Intelligence' has been evaluated as a key element for the success in international business activities. This study aims to investigate empirically the role of Cultural Intelligence(CQ), one component of cultural competence, on export marketing adaptation. The statistical method used to test the hypotheses was Structural Equation Modeling using PLS. The results of this study are follows. The moderating role of Cultural Intelligence between information seeking and information using abilities is more stronger in marketing rather than relationship adaptation. Cultural Intelligence moderates between them. Critical factors affecting Cultural Intelligence are also discussed; foreign language fluency, business travels in abroad, characteristics of the business travels, multi-lingual ability, pre-education related cultural subjects, and visit experience in foreign countries. Especially, export managers' foreign language ability leads to much stronger influence on cultural intelligence. The result of the empirical study provides important implications for export SME and export supporting organizations. Export firms and supporting organizations must expand programs widely in multi cultural training and education to help managers gain a better understanding in a various export environment.
