| Tiivistelmä: | This article is a result of in-depth research into the way executives of a large French oil company built up their identities and a result of a study examining intercultural learning based on French expatriates' (here as: expats.) experience in China. It is considered how French expats. experience China and what imaginary underlies their perception. Analysis of daily socialization and interaction processes shows intercultural competence develops along distinct immersion (as: imm.) stages: imm.-adjustment, imm.-comprehension, and imm.-integration. Individually, adjustment and comprehension support intercultural practice. The ultimate imm. stage leads to enlightened pragmatism stemming from "nomadic intelligence". |
