Assessing Knowledge Transfer and Cultural Impact Questionnaire

This assignment presents a questionnaire designed to assess knowledge transfer and its relationship with cultural alignment within an organization. The questionnaire includes both quantitative and qualitative questions. The quantitative section explores the extent to which respondents agree or disagree with statements about knowledge transfer, organizational practices, and cultural factors such as national culture, diversity, and collectivism versus individualism. The qualitative section delves deeper, asking respondents to describe their organization's corporate culture, the impact of cultural differences, challenges in knowledge transfer, experiences with implementing best practices, and the potential for improving diversity. The goal is to gather insights into how cultural factors influence the effectiveness of knowledge transfer between headquarters and subsidiaries, and to identify strategies for improvement.
