“…The existence of a culture of finance and corporate governance (Ardalan, 2007(Ardalan, , 2017 complies with Williamson's framework, corresponding mainly to the level-3. According to Williamson, the higher level of the social embeddedness should theoretically "dominate" the culture of finance and corporate governance.…”

“…The current functionalist view of governance, which is becoming dominant worldwide, endorses convergence towards one best model, the Anglo‐American model (Ardalan, 2007a,b; Goede, 2008). This coincides with the blue stage or a more complex stage.…”

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to compare the case of Curaçao, as a small island coping with globalization, with Singapore, Barbados, New Zealand, Ireland, and Aruba and to contribute to the development of a framework for discussing globalization and economic development strategies for small islands.Design/methodology/approachThe study and the paper follow the inductive line of reasoning, starting by comparing the current situation of six countries – Singapore, Barbados, New Zealand, Ireland, Aruba, and Curaçao. Next the six countries are placed in their respective social, economic, and historical contexts. Then the paper explores what Curaçao can learn from the other six countries by applying the framework of spiral dynamics and the eight‐stage process for creating major change.FindingsCuraçao can look at other countries and learn a great deal, but Curaçao cannot copy the model of another country and implement it. This is because of the differences between the various exemplars, particularly in the starting position and the changes that have taken place in the world, which make the case of Curaçao unique. Curaçao will have to develop its own model.Originality/valueThe paper contributes to the analysis of globalization of small islands.

Purpose -The purpose of this paper is to show how different philosophical schools of thought view the relation between globalization and culture differently. Design/methodology/approach -This paper places the existing philosophical schools of thought into four broad categories: functionalist, interpretive, radical humanist, and radical structuralist. This paper then shows how each of these four broad categories view the relation between globalization and culture differently. Findings -This paper finds that the functionalist paradigm views globalization and culture as universal, the interpretive paradigm views globalization and culture as particular, the radical humanist paradigm views globalization and culture as a domination ideology, and the radical structuralist paradigm views globalization and culture as causing conflict between classes.Research limitations/implications -This paper assumes that each school of thought can be located in one of the four broad categories of philosophical schools of thought. However, this may not be applicable to each and every philosophical school of thought. Practical implications -This paper implies that one would benefit by becoming familiar with other ways of seeing the same phenomenon. This paper shows that the relation between globalization and culture can be viewed at least from four different vantage points and therefore one would have a better understanding of the relation between globalization and culture if one becomes familiar with all four different view points. Originality/value -The contribution of this paper is the advice that in the era of globalization it is better for people to become open-minded because different people from different parts of the world have different perspectives and the best way to be able to live together is to learn about how others think.
