Abstract
The paper outlines the role of culture as a contributing and critical factor in the development
of information diffusion when it occurs within online communities (OCs). We argue that
cultural variability influences the decision making process to diffuse information or not. The
paper proposes a conceptual model that identifies the relevant dimensions of culture as
portrayed in the intercultural literature and their influence on information diffusion. We
suggest a conceptual model to deal with this gap in knowledge and propose testing the model
in the online Chinese book market in PRC.
