- Description
- This paper explores the assumption that the impact of cultural diversity on knowledge creating capability is consequent to associated differences in knowledge and perspectives, and suggests that these knowledge differences produce their effect by triggering deliberative, collaborative behaviours. To investigate this theory, we assess whether cognitive heterogeneity operate as mediating variables between cultural diversity and knowledge creation, and whether debate operates as a second stage mediator. The results provide some support for the assumed impact of cognitive heterogeneity and also support the existence of sequential mediation pathways.
