Cosmopolitanism for the masses
Purpose This paper aims to review the latest management developments across the globe and pinpoint practical implications from cutting-edge research and case studies. Design/methodology/approach This briefing is prepared by an independent writer who adds their own impartial comments and places the articles in context. Findings With the world becoming increasingly connected, it is important that the acceptance and understanding of others is understood as being of the utmost importance. In this way, cosmopolitanism could become a tool with which everyone engages with cultural exchange, both aiding globalizations for its benefits, whilst also encouraging the retention of cultural values. Migrant entrepreneurs, with their mixed skill set of business aptitude and an ability to appropriate culturally, are a key group in understanding the potential benefits of cosmopolitanism in this global age. The author of the article reviewed sets out some propositions that begin this discussion, helping to encourage the discovery of answers by data collection. There is a huge cultural and economic benefit to be had by understanding the role that migrant entrepreneurs have in a society, and this all seems to stem from the notion of their being cosmopolitan carriers. Practical implications The paper provides strategic insights and practical thinking that have influenced some of the world’s leading organizations. Originality/value The briefing saves busy executives and researchers hours of reading time by selecting only the very best, most pertinent information and presenting it in a condensed and easy-to-digest format.
