“…The logic proposing the advantages of gender diversity is used to explain information‐processing and creativity, while the perspective proposing disadvantages is used mostly to describe intergroup conflict that reduces innovation (Chua & Jin, 2020). Research in gender diversity typically uses one of the two arguments and relates diversity to risk‐taking orientation along an entire performance spectrum (Miller & Triana, 2009; Richard et al, 2019; Triana et al, 2014), but very few efforts have been made to integrate the two arguments which might be more suitable for between‐team predictions (i.e., TMT vs. BOD).…”

Given the mixed evidence that having both women and men in the top management team (TMT) or in the board of directors (BOD) has a significant influence on organizational innovation, we resolve this issue by conceptualizing TMT–BOD gender diversity as part of a multiteam system, that has joint effects which impact organizational innovation. Evidence from the study of both Chinese firms and UK firms confirm our conceptualization by showing an interaction effect between TMT gender diversity and BOD gender diversity such that innovation is greatest when both are high. The positive TMT–BOD gender diversity interaction effect on innovation improves subsequent firm performance particularly in dynamic environments. The findings refine current thinking by going beyond research that tests intra‐team TMT or BOD diversity independently and instead considers inter‐team diversity across both leadership teams within the strategic leadership upper echelons. In sum, findings show that high levels of TMT and BOD gender diversity result in more organizational innovation, which ultimately improves firm performance. We offer implications for women's inclusion in leadership as well as for research on the upper echelons.

“…First, this paper provides a new perspective for understanding the impact of multiculturalism on consumer creativity from different dimensions of culture. Although many studies provide evidence that multicultural experiences enhance individual creativity, there is still the possibility that multicultural experiences limit individual creativity (Chua & Jin, 2020;Maddux et al, 2020), and multicultural experiences do not enhance creativity under all conditions (Chen et al, 2016;Maddux et al, 2020). This paper discusses the issue of the influence of culture on consumer creativity from the dual perspective of multiculturalism and loose-tight culture, adding the dimension of loose-tight culture to the study of multiculturalism, discussing the potential influence of both on consumer creativity, and thus providing a new perspective for understanding consumer creativity in the context of globalization.…”

“…In marketing, companies have crossed organizational boundaries and national boundaries to perceive consumers as a potential resource to enhance their innovation advantage (Hofstetter et al, 2021;Luo & Toubia, 2015;Stephen et al, 2016), but we still know very little about how consumers think creatively in the context of globalization (Chua,2015). Although many studies provide evidence that multicultural experiences enhance individual creativity, there is still the possibility that multicultural experiences limit individual creativity (Chua & Jin, 2020;Maddux et al, 2020). Multicultural experiences do not enhance creativity under all conditions (Chen et al, 2016;Maddux et al, 2020) and there is a lack of understanding of how different dimensions of culture determine the impact of multicultural experiences on consumer creativity (Chua et al, 2015;Maddux et al, 2020).…”

How culture influences consumer creativity: A dual perspective of multiculturalism and loose-tight culture

In the context of globalization, consumers with multicultural experiences are increasingly involved in the process of value creation, yet there is a lack of understanding of how multiculturalism affects consumer creativity. Based on the dual perspectives of multiculturalism and loose-tight culture, this paper illustrates the mechanism of multicultural experience on consumer creativity and the moderating effect of loose-tight culture on this relationship. Two studies (a questionnaire study and an experimental study) were conducted to validate the theoretical model. The results revealed that multicultural experiences enhance consumer creativity, cognitive complexity mediates the relationship between the two, and loose-tight culture moderates the relationship between multicultural experiences and consumer creativity. The loose culture scenario has a positive enhancement effect, the tight culture scenario has a negative weakening effect, and the interaction between multicultural experiences and loose-tight culture affects consumer creativity through cognitive complexity. The results of this study provide a new perspective on the relationship between culture and consumer creativity, expanding the study of culture and consumer creativity from the cultural value dimension to the social norm dimension, enriching the research on creativity as a cognitive process at the consumer level, and providing guidance and reference for companies to better stimulate and utilize consumer creativity.

“…Task-based intercultural conflict can improve organizational decision-making and creativity as members bring different perspectives based on their cultural experiences. 18 For example, an NBA team trying to increase fandom within the local Latinx community could benefit greatly from cultural knowledge shared by Latinx employees. However, for task-based intercultural conflict to be productive, organizational members must be respectful and genuinely interested in learning about cultural differences among employees.…”

Rahman Anjorin: Player Manager, National Football League Players' Association; Founder and Lead Consultant, Deed Firm To listen to the interview Rugby in the United StatesThe sport of rugby is well established throughout the world, with countries having developed hierarchies that include youth development, club, national, and professional systems. In the United States, there is strong evidence that the sport has significant growth potential. 1 The United States has a growing club system and emerging opportunities for high-school and collegiate athletes. However, without a youth system to teach children about the game and develop talent, the scholastic and club systems are starved for qualified players. At the same time, the United States National Team (USA Rugby) and professional systems are foundering. USA Rugby filed for bankruptcy in 2020, and several professional leagues have been created and folded over the last decade. 2 This has left one executive to suggest that the US rugby pyramid resembles a Christmas tree without a base or top. 3 Conflict among stakeholders is commonly cited as the main reason for rugby's failures in the United States. The leadership of the four different prospective professional leagues (Major League Rugby, PRO Rugby, Super 7's, and Guinness 14) have different perspectives on how to create a professional rugby league. In a country with an abundance of rugby players and fans, this would not be a problem. There may not be enough talent or fans in the
