Abstract

Understanding intercultural collaboration is a thorny problem in CSCW and organizational studies that grows ever more important as globalization increases intercultural interactions among individuals, groups, and technologies. We suggest that Postcolonial Studies may offer richer frameworks for analysis than taxonomic models of culture such as Hofstede's dimensions of difference. A postcolonial perspective sees culture as dynamic and always changing, stressing the importance of colonial histories, uneven economic relations, and local knowledge systems in framing and designing information technologies.
