These collected essays on transcultural management start where conventional intercultural research often ends. Here the term “transcultural” is not used synonymously with the term “intercultural” as some culture scholars employ it. They often tend to equate “intercultural” to “transcultural”, whether they refer to competence, intelligence, management or communication. Science and philosophy of east and west allow us to contextualize the intercultural paradigm in a wider scientific and human context; this holistic perception of the intercultural is translated as transcultural or noetic. Consciousness research, concepts of neurophysiology, microbiology and physics, in particular the quantum paradigm as well as the epistemologies across cultures, civilizations and eras contribute to a more complete, sustainable and effective understanding of the cultural challenge of our era.
