Author:  L. Kareem (Independent Researcher) Affiliation:  Independent Researcher Abstract Case study methodology continues to be one of the most effective and intellectually significant methods in business research, as it enables scholars to examine intricate organisational realities within their contextual framework. A lot of the most important business questions aren't just about "what" happened, but also about "how" and "why" things happened over time. This includes things

Author: L. Kowalska Affiliation: Independent Researcher Abstract Higher education systems worldwide are experiencing an unparalleled phase of global integration. Universities in a variety of social, economic, and cultural settings now experience comparable pressures to conform to international standards in quality assurance, accreditation, governance, research evaluation, and internationalisation. These pressures create what organisational theorists call institutional isom

Author: Samir Khalidi Affiliation: Independent Researcher Abstract Over the past twenty years, corporate law has come together like never before. Jurisdictions all over the world have started to use similar rules for governance, disclosure, sustainability reporting, and directors' duties. This phenomenon, frequently termed institutional isomorphism, illustrates a complex interaction of regulatory influences, professional standards, global markets, and power disparities within

Author: Karim El-Mansouri Affiliation: Independent Researcher Abstract Cybersecurity has evolved from a specialized technical function to one of the most consequential governance concerns confronting modern enterprises. In an increasingly interconnected global economy, firms rely on digital infrastructures that expose them to systemic vulnerabilities, transnational cybercrime, geopolitical risks, and complex regulatory expectations. This article examines cybersecurity governa

Author:  Karim El-Sayed Affiliation:  Independent Researcher Abstract Global talent mobility has emerged as one of the most influential forces shaping labor markets in the early twenty-first century. Across regions, the movement of skilled professionals, international students, remote workers, and digital nomads is accelerating, even as governments attempt to balance the competing pressures of economic competitiveness, demographic change, political resistance to migration, an

Author:  Lina Mansour Affiliation:  Independent Researcher Abstract Global leadership today unfolds in an environment characterized by unprecedented mobility of people, capital, information, and cultural practices. As multinational enterprises (MNEs), international organizations, and transnational civil-society networks increasingly operate across borders, the demands placed on leaders extend far beyond technical expertise. They must navigate linguistic complexity, cross-cult

Author: Sara Khoury Affiliation: Independent Researcher Abstract Global corporate culture has become one of the most visible markers of organizational identity and legitimacy in the twenty-first century. Across industries and continents, multinational enterprises (MNEs) increasingly display convergent cultural scripts emphasizing sustainability, diversity, agility, innovation, transparency, and formalized values. Although this convergence may appear natural, it is the outcome

Social entrepreneurship has rapidly evolved from a niche practice to a mainstream strategy for addressing complex social and environmental problems. Yet the mechanisms that enable social enterprises to mobilize resources, build trust, and sustain impact remain contested. This article examines social entrepreneurship through Pierre Bourdieu’s concept of social capital and complementary lenses from world-systems analysis and institutional isomorphism. Using a mixed conceptual–a

Abstract This article examines how institutional isomorphism—coercive, mimetic, and normative pressures—shapes the rapid diffusion of corporate governance models across diverse national contexts. By integrating institutional isomorphism with Bourdieu’s theory of fields and capital and insights from world-systems analysis, the study offers a multi-level framework to explain why firms and regulators around the world increasingly resemble one another in governance form while oft

Author:  Aibek Karimov Affiliation:  Independent Researcher Abstract This article examines how leadership succeeds or fails in global firms when power, culture, and trust collide across borders. Using Bourdieu’s theory of capital and fields, world-systems analysis, and institutional isomorphism, I define leadership capital  as a convertible bundle of economic, social, cultural, and symbolic resources that executives mobilize to shape strategy and legitimacy. I propose a pract

Abstract In the twenty-first century, organizations are increasingly defined by digital technologies, global connectivity, and rapid change. Leadership in such contexts requires more than management skills; it demands vision, agility, and the ability to transform human and technological systems. This article explores how transformational leadership operates in digital organizations. Drawing on Pierre Bourdieu’s theory of capital, habitus, and field; world-systems theory; and

Author:  Said Khalifa Affiliation:  Independent Researcher Abstract This paper explores the evolving paradigms of management and leadership in the twenty-first century, focusing on how globalization, digital transformation, and sociocultural dynamics reshape the understanding of authority, coordination, and organizational identity. Drawing upon Pierre Bourdieu’s concept of capital, Immanuel Wallerstein’s world-systems theory, and the framework of institutional isomorphism, th

This article offers a 3,000–3,500-word, accessible but academically framed account of gold’s historical trajectory and contemporary relevance. It situates gold within three theoretical lenses: Bourdieu’s forms of capital (economic, social, cultural, and symbo
