At present, artificial intelligence technology is experiencing rapid development, and artificial intelligence has a significant impact on human production and lifestyle, as well as the political and cultural aspects of society. In recent years, the rapid development of artificial intelligence, in the context of this era of development, for the national cultural communication, how to faster and better adapt to the general trend of the times, and constantly interchange and improve become an important issue. As an indispensable part of the world’s civilization, Chinese ethnic cultures cannot only focus on their domestic inheritance but also should establish an external spreading pattern, thus promoting their own development as well as the diversity of the world’s cultures. This article discusses the implication of AI technology for the promotion of Chinese ethnic cultures’ external communication. AI technology can be used in text translation, data mining, communication channel analysis, etc. It is more efficient and accurate than experienced journalists and editors in collecting big data to develop selected topics and research, judge the direction of ethnic culture communication, and discover the content that users are interested in. At the same time, the instrumental and auxiliary roles of AI translation can be used to improve the construction of ethnic culture corpus. Through the analysis of the data from the survey and experiment, it is found that the media of ethnic culture communication has changed dramatically since 2016. In 2016, the highest proportion of television channels was 70%, but in 2021, the proportion of television channels dropped to 23%, and Internet and book communication have become the “main force,” of which the proportion of Internet is 59% and the proportion of book channels is 48%, and the popularity and growth speed of the mass media ranked first. The modern intelligent technology can be used to spread Chinese ethnic cultures more widely and effectively. It has a far-reaching influence in that, it can promote the inheritance and innovation of Chinese ethnic cultures, and to improve ethnic groups’ confidence in their own ethnic cultures.

Purpose The purpose of this study is to explore the relationship between experiential knowledge of foreign markets, institutional word of mouth (WOM) and small and medium enterprises’ (SMEs’) internationalization. Specifically, it aims to provide explanations of what and how cross-border experiential knowledge can be institutionally transmitted for SMEs’ internationalization purposes via WOM. Design/methodology/approach An exploratory approach was adopted within the phenomenological/qualitative research tradition. The data collection process was conducted through 23 semi-structured interviews with founders and chief executive officers of Saudi international SMEs. Findings The study’s findings confirm that SMEs seeking productive opportunities in the international market could improve their internationalization experience if they made proper use of institutional WOM as a catalyst for inter-firm learning. This concerns SMEs from emerging countries in particular as they are usually in a bid to legitimatize their presence in foreign markets. Originality/value The triadic relationship between experiential knowledge, institutional WOM and internationalization has not been previously researched. The current study, therefore, clearly adds value to the concept of WOM from three dimensions: institutionalization, cross-borderity and SMEs’ internationalization.

“…Drawing on institutional theory, cultural values are generally regarded as informal institutions related to the normative and cultural-cognitive pressures that guide social behavior (Scott, 2001) and govern the beliefs and actions of people (Mead, 1994; Popov, 2019). In essence, this theory offers a meaningful indication that trust behavior is inherently and largely guided by the cultural characteristics in a particular society.…”

Purpose The purpose of this study is to address the call for empirical research on trust and culture highlighted in the existing literature. This study empirically investigates the underlying cultural values of trust across multiple countries – the term used to describe specific cultural environments that have the potential to influence the way in which people demonstrate trust toward others – and then documents their subsequent influences on the success of organization development (OD) efforts in international contexts. Design/methodology/approach Using data from multiple sources, this study conducts a series of empirical tests to investigate the underlying cultural values of trust in a large sample of 42 countries over the past 20 years (2000–2020). Then, the study further extends the findings to propose an empirically developed framework, namely, a country classification, which can be used to assess whether cultural environments in a specific country appear to support or impede trust behavior and the likelihood of success in implementing OD initiatives and interventions in international contexts. Findings Trust is robustly related to cultural values. Specifically, people from countries with high power distance and uncertainty avoidance cultures tend to exhibit less trust in others, whereas those from countries with high individualistic and long-term oriented cultures are more likely to trust others. The country classification further demonstrates that Estonia, Germany, Sweden and the Netherlands are the group of countries whose cultural values appear strongly consistent with the underlying cultural values of trust, implying a greater likelihood of success for OD efforts and interventions. On the other hand, Colombia, Egypt, Iraq, Libya and Mexico are the group of countries whose cultural values appear to differ significantly from the underlying cultural values of trust, suggesting potential obstacles for successful OD efforts and thus appropriate modifications of OD interventions are essentially needed. The results for other countries are also discussed. Practical implications The findings offer several practical implications for the community of OD consulting, especially those who work internationally in cross-national consulting projects or deal with culturally diverse organizations. These include a more sophisticated understanding of the cultural environments that support or impede the willingness to trust in a specific foreign country, an evidence-informed strategy to design or adopt appropriate OD interventions that align with the cultural environments of a foreign country and a framework to assess and improve the likelihood of successful OD interventions in international contexts. Originality/value To the author’s best knowledge, this is the first study to conduct an empirical examination of the influence of culture on trust in a comprehensive manner, subsequently providing a transitional bridge between two major strands of trust research in the current OD literature: trust serves as a necessary foundation for successful OD efforts and the willingness to trust can potentially be explained through cultural spheres. Second, this study explores trust behavior in international contexts and develops a country classification concerning the influence of culture on trust, both of which have never been accomplished in prior research.
