Abstract

Bu makale, küresel göç ve uluslararası işletmecilik alanına yansımalarını incelemektedir. Küresel göç ve ticari faaliyetlerin kesişme noktasındaki çok yönlü etkilerin, stratejik uyarlamaların ve ortaya çıkan eğilimlerin kapsamlı bir analizini sunmaktadır. Bireylerin sınır ötesi hareketiyle karakterize edilen küresel göç, ekonomik fırsatlar ve jeopolitik olaylardan çevresel değişiklikler ve sosyal isteklere kadar çeşitli faktörler tarafından yönlendirilmektedir. Uluslararası işletmeler de bu süreci şekillendiren aktif katılımcılar olarak demografik değişimler, yetenek hareketliliği, kültürel çeşitlilik ve sosyoekonomik dönüşümlerde pay sahibi olmakta, bunlardan kaynaklanan zorlukların üstesinden gelmekte ve fırsatları değerlendirmektedir. Küresel göçün uluslararası iş dünyası üzerindeki etkileri derin ve geniş kapsamlıdır. Göçmenler, ev sahibi ekonomilere farklı uzmanlık, yenilikçi düşünce ve yeni bakış açıları katabilirken sınır ötesi iş birliğini teşvik etmekte ve kültürel çeşitliliği artırmaktadır. Uluslararası işletmeler için bu etkiler işgücü piyasaları, şirket stratejileri, inovasyon dinamikleri ve yetenek yönetimi alanlarında da kendini göstermektedir. İleriye baktığımızda, teknoloji odaklı hareketlilik, nitelikli göçmenlik rekabeti ve iklim kaynaklı göç gibi yeni trendler uluslararası işletmeciliği yeniden şekillendirmeye hazırlanmaktadır. İşletmeler, sürekli gelişen küresel ortamda başarılı olmak için uyarlanabilirliği, kültürel duyarlılığı ve teknolojik yenilikçiliği benimseyerek uyum sağlamalıdır. Yenilikçilik, ekonomik büyüme ve toplumsal kapsayıcılık yoluyla işletmeler ve toplumlar küresel göçün olumlu etkilerinden yararlanabilirler.

Evaluation of Global Immigration Movements From an International Business Perspective

Abstract

This article examines global migration and its implications for international business. It provides a comprehensive analysis of the multifaceted influences, strategic adaptations and emerging trends at the intersection of global migration and business activities. Global migration, characterized by the cross-border movement of individuals, is driven by a variety of factors, from economic opportunities and geopolitical events to environmental changes and social aspirations. As active participants in shaping this process, international businesses have a stake in demographic shifts, talent mobility, cultural diversity and socioeconomic transformations, overcoming challenges and seizing opportunities. The impacts of global migration on international business are profound and far-reaching. Migrants can bring diverse expertise, innovative thinking and new perspectives to host economies, while fostering cross-border cooperation and increasing cultural diversity. For international businesses, these effects are also reflected in labor markets, corporate strategies, innovation dynamics and talent management. Looking ahead, new trends such as technology-driven mobility, competition for skilled migration and climate-driven migration are poised to reshape international business. Businesses must adapt by embracing adaptability, cultural sensitivity and technological innovation to thrive in an ever-evolving global environment. Through innovation, economic growth and social inclusion, businesses and societies can benefit from the positive effects of global migration.
