Abstract

Abstract Global leaders navigate complex intercultural interfaces. Cultural intelligence (CQ) and global identity are two major constructs that explain why some leaders are more effective in bridging cultural divides than others. Despite addressing the same question, CQ and global identity stem from very different theoretical bases. In this chapter, we review research on CQ and global identity, and we offer future research directions to integrate them more systematically. We begin with a review of the theoretical origins and conceptualizations of both constructs. We delineate their conceptual distinctiveness vis-à-vis intercultural competence and other cultural identities; and we also highlight key empirical findings. We then offer ideas to extend existing CQ and global identity research to the firm level. Specifically, we suggest that CQ and global identity complement each other in important ways to help global leaders (1) internationalize local firms; (2) sustain competitive advantage through building cosmopolitan human capital; and (3) resolve global–local tensions.
