Abstract ·
The number of software projects developed as
a collaboration between China and the US is increasing. ·
A good understanding of how culture affects
collaborative software development would be useful. ·
Software engineers in China, (n=314)
and the US (n=158) completed Allinson and Hayes’ (1996) Cognitive
Style Index (CSI) online. · An independent samples t-test of means showed the Chinese software engineers to be significantly more analytical than those in the US. · Given the lack of face-to-face contact, cross-cultural software collaborators may especially benefit from recognizing and managing cognitive style differences. |
