Review of the Last Decade of Global Citizenship Among Students: Exploratory Note and a Unified Framework

ABSTRACT

This idea of global citizenship is particularly important for the next generation of leaders and thinkers. As students in business schools around the world prepare for their careers, they are targeting not just their local communities, but the seven billion potential customers who make up our global marketplace. In order to succeed in this globalized economy, students need to be educated not just in the traditional skills of business, but in the principles of global citizenship as well. The resulting articles were strictly targeted at tertiary education ONLY of international business schools and ONLY in those articles that study global citizenship. For reasons of up-to-date knowledge, the present literature was content with the final decade. A total of 13 articles have been identified as a result of the aforementioned Boolean search, which was conducted from a pool of 216 articles in the first phase of the search. The articles provide valuable insights for researchers seeking to build their knowledge base in the field of education, particularly for those interested in international business schools and the concept of global citizenship. The findings of this literature review have the potential to inform new teaching methods for academics and educators, while also helping students understand and approach the world in a more informed and conscientious manner.
