This issue of Global Focus explores a wide array of topics.

Richard Straub contends that stagnation is no longer tolerable, urging a shift towards entrepreneurship for societal prosperity. He writes: “Entrepreneurship, which is self-determination and thus a keystone of democracy, leads us back to the essence of being human – our ability to conceive ideas and entities never before seen or even dreamed of. No algorithm can achieve this. Human judgement, ownership and responsibility in risk-taking are essential”. Martina Wolff de Carrasco and Elmar Husmann advocate for nurturing curiosity and creativity in modern classrooms. Baback Yazdani explores personalized education’s implementation in a UK business school, whilst Ravi Kumar warns against cultural ignorance in business, citing mishaps like eel soup incidents and suggests remedies.
