This contribution discusses selected basic theoretical principles and empirical results from my postdoctoral thesis (Robak, 2012a Robak, S. (2012a). Kulturelle Formationen des Lernens. Zum Lernen deutschsprachiger Expatriates in kulturdifferenten Arbeitskontexten in China—die versäumte Weiterbildung [Cultural formations in learning. The learning processes of German-speaking expatriates in alien cultural workplace contexts in China—a neglected further education opportunity]. Frankfurt am Main: Waxmann. [Google Scholar]), which investigates the learning and educational processes of German-speaking expatriates in global enterprises in China. I start by showing that no adequately developed concepts for an integrated learning culture framework exist for transnational businesses. Next, I develop theoretic premises for accessing knowledge, learning processes, culture, and cultural differences, which form the input for an empirical analysis model. Examples of empirical results based on one typical analyzed type, the cosmopolitan nomads, are used to substantiate cultural hybrid formation processes, which influence working and learning processes and require support by transnational learning cultures
