“…This is a general limitation of research about the links between geography, whether of countries or regions, and ethnicity. While many cultural groups have gained resources and protection by controlling territory and seeking governmental autonomy (Keating, 2008), others have maintained cultural traditions and supported members' identities as diasporas (Grossman, 2019;Kopchick et al, 2021). These latter cultural groups may have less relevance to business location choices than have WCCRs, but businesses certainly must adapt to and learn from their association with people from a wider variety of cultural groups than just those that dominate administrative regions.…”

Cross-cultural management scholars traditionally use country boundaries to study societal culture, while recognizing that regions within many countries show cultural differences. We review survey studies published in business journals between 1991 and 2021 that assess within-country cultural differences among administrative regions. We classify the articles according to their theoretical bases, methodological approaches, and outcomes. We use a functional, institutional, and critical event framework to suggest direction for theory that is and can be used to seek and explain within-country cultural regions. We also evaluate currently used databases, measurement, and analysis approaches to suggest ways forward.

“…All diaspora communities are transnationally embedded in at least two locations, but not all transnational populations constitute a diaspora.' 163 The Kurdish Jewish community demonstrated the existence of transnational ties that are weakening by each generation and their self-identification do not refer to their community as a Kurdish diaspora in Israel. For them, Israel is home and assimilation is not something to be avoided.…”

This paper examines the experiences of Kurdistani Jews who were airlifted to Israel from Iraq in the early 1950s with the Operations Ezra and Nehemiah. The article seeks to answer questions regarding what transnational ties Kurdistani Jews have with their former homeland in Iraq, how their ethnic, cultural, and political mobilization transpires in Israel, and whether the Kurdistani Jewish community in Israel may be considered a diaspora. The article scrutinizes their (allegedly) enduring diasporic situation and identity formation in the specific context of ethnic and cultural mobilization regarding the community's former homeland. It also examines how this community maintain their attachment to the KRI and what kind of transnational activities they pursue to create a bridge between Israel and Kurdistan. The arguments are based on extensive fieldwork in Israel, consisting of semi-structured interviews with first and new generation Kurdish Jews who live in

“…The complexities and diversities in historical and societal experiences are also reflected in the definitions of the diaspora concept. Diaspora conceptualization is not even close to having an agreed upon parameter any time soon, as Grossman states in his article, in which he challenges the diaspora concept, through almost 200 cited articles defining diasporas between 1976 and 2017 (Grossman, 2018). Based on this selected literature Grossman identifies "6 core attributes": transnationalism, community, dispersal and immigration, outside the homeland, homeland orientation, and group identity.…”

This article briefly investigates the evolution of Turkish diaspora over the course of history and pays particular attention to major diaspora formation approaches. Then, the focuses on the Turkish Diaspora within which, before all else, emigration and changing borders are considered major components for diaspora formation. This paper also demonstrates that the history of Turkish emigrant communities began in the 19 th century during the Ottoman era and dramatically increased after WWII, during the Turkish Republic era. This study, in particular, focuses on autochthonous aspects of the Turkish diaspora, which came into existence as a result of the Ottoman State's territorial losses.
