BORDERLESS INNOVATION: THE IMPACT OF GLOBALIZATION, TECHNOLOGY, AND EDUCATION ON ENTREPRENEURIAL TRANSFORMATION

Abstract

The 21st century has witnessed the emergence of borderless entrepreneurship, driven by globalization, technology, and education. The current global economic environment has created unprecedented opportunities for entrepreneurs to innovate and scale ventures beyond national boundaries. This study examines the complex interactions between globalization, technological advancements, and education, highlighting their combined effect on entrepreneurial transformation. Globalization facilitates cross-border trade, investment, and cultural exchange, enabling entrepreneurs to access wider markets and diverse knowledge pools. Technology, encompassing artificial intelligence, blockchain, cloud computing, and digital platforms, enhances operational efficiency, decision-making, and scalability. Education equips entrepreneurs with critical thinking, creativity, resilience, and leadership skills necessary to navigate volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous (VUCA) business environments. This paper proposes a conceptual model of "borderless innovation", integrating these three pillars to demonstrate their synergistic effect in fostering sustainable entrepreneurship. Additionally, the study identifies challenges such as digital divide, regulatory complexities, and educational disparities, providing recommendations for policymakers, educators, and entrepreneurial ecosystems.
