PhD candidate invitation: Intercultural Research

    Dear PhD Colleagues,

    I am near the end of a PhD project and would like to invite you to
    participate in the last stage of my fieldwork.

    I have developed and fieldtested (with over 400 MNC managers) an
    original survey to assess Intercultural Effectiveness (ICE). I need to
    investigate its concurrent validity by comparing individual responses
    with another, established measure- the Cross-Cultural Adaptability
    Inventory- that taps into similar abilities.

    Therefore, I am inviting you to complete both surveys which take about
    10-15 minutes each. In return, I can email you your individual processed
    results, 'benchmarked' against the Monash and Melbourne PhD management
    cohort as well as MNC managers' mean results, so you will be able to
    gain insights into some important aspects of your own intercultural
    effectiveness.

    The ICE Survey is online at:

    while the Cross-Cultural Adaptability Inventory is at:

    http://survey.ecom.unimelb.edu.au/TakeSurvey.aspx?SurveyID=m2KK777

    If you can only complete one survey, please do the ICE Survey. Some of
    the background items may not apply to you so please just leave these
    blank. Of course, all the usual ethics provisions apply- complete
    confidentiality, voluntariness etc. (Ethics ID: 000011)

    This problem seems to happen to about 10% of people for no apparent reason. The quick fix is to use the links written below replacing the word 'dot with 'real dots':

    Please let me know if you have any questions, and best wishes for your
    own studies regardless.

    Regards
