Rein Suadamara, Stefan Werner, Axel Hunger

Abstract

This paper reports about on-going research on how cultural dimensions affect user’s preference in intercultural collaboration using computer supported cooperative work (CSCW) tools. It proposes how selected cultural dimensions should be applied when designing a synchronous groupware application aimed for multicultural users. Using four cultural dimensions, which are Collectivist-Individualist, Power Distance Index, Uncertainty Avoidance, and Low- and High Context communication from Hofstede, Gudykunst, Triandis, and Edward T.Hall, this research will try to analyse how culture influences the way users prefer to interact using a groupware as a remote collaboration tools.
