ABSTRACT
In this chapter, a novel approach towards understanding how entrepreneurs act to draw new business horizons when faced with new opportunities or challenges is introduced. In the current decade, there has been much emphasis on strengthening individuals’ capabilities to move them into the space or mindset of entrepreneurs. The work in this chapter builds on previous attempts where the metacognitive dimension of cultural intelligence (CQ) is employed to help entrepreneurs plot the right strategies towards achieving their self-gains. Furthermore, the work adds another building block to previous achievements and draws a new horizon by explaining how a change can happen in individuals’ mindsets to transform themselves into adopting a competitive or entrepreneurial culture. This chapter calls for a paradigm shift in approaching, understanding, explaining, and boosting entrepreneurship among individuals by deploying Douglasian Cultural Framework-based CQ. Moreover, it lays out a set of behaviours and a process individuals could follow to achieve their sought-after transformation to become entrepreneurs and follow opportunities globally.
