Within the editorial pages of International Journal of Cross Cultural Management, we have asserted the need for cross-cultural management to be seen and understood in its context. In fact our assertions have gone further than this in saying that the context and the content of our studies are the same. By its very nature, within the social sciences, the content of what we study also provides the context within which we study it. This is because our focus of study is society and people within society, people interacting and creating and recreating their social reality. As scholars and researchers we also interact within this social context, and for international scholars globalization connects us with the subject of our study. Hence it is not just that a critical approach seeks to make sense of culture in its context as Søderberg and Holden (2002) stressed in this Journal many years ago. The context is our content. This appears fundamental to scholarship and research that looks critically at how we study culture and cultural interactions. Yet integrating context into critical scholarship requires an examination of the political nature of our work, as it is grounded within this context.

跨文化管理：上下文是我们的内容

在《国际跨文化管理杂志》的社论页面中，我们断言有必要在其上下文中看到和理解跨文化管理。实际上，我们的主张远不止于此，因为我们的研究背景和内容是相同的。就其本质而言，在社会科学中，我们研究的内容也提供了研究的背景。这是因为我们的研究重点是社会和社会中的人们，人们互动，创造和重建他们的社会现实。作为学者和研究人员，我们也在这种社会背景下互动。对于国际学者来说，全球化将我们与研究主题联系在一起。因此，正如多年前Søderberg和Holden（2002）在本《日​​刊》中强调的那样，不仅仅是一种批判性的方法试图在其背景下理解文化。上下文是我们的内容。对于学者和研究而言，这似乎至关重要，它严格地关注我们如何研究文化和文化互动。然而，将情境整合到批判性学术中需要对我们工作的政治性质进行考察，因为它是基于这种情境。
