Author : Arslan Aylyyev
Abstract :
This study examines how global leadership experience influences innovation in emerging markets, focusing on leaders with international exposure. Emerging markets, which play a pivotal role in the world economy, face significant challenges, including underdeveloped infrastructure, complex regulatory frameworks, and skills gaps. This paper aims to investigate whether CEOs with global leadership experience can bring unique approaches that foster innovation within these markets. Utilizing a mixed-methods approach-including case study analysis and data review-this research presents evidence of how internationally experienced leaders implement successful strategies in areas like digital finance, healthcare, and sustainable energy. The findings highlight that such leaders are adept at navigating local challenges while integrating global best practices, resulting in significant advancements in innovation. The paper concludes by suggesting areas for future research to better understand the dynamics between leadership experience and innovation in these markets.
