The 'next big thing' for business to tackle? Forced migration, says leadership professor

Michael Hastings urged business leaders to "grab" the issue of forced migration and help refugees and asylum seekers gain access to education and work.
The article from MSN, titled "The Next Big Thing for Business to Tackle: Forced Migration, Says Leadership Professor," discusses how businesses are increasingly being called upon to address global issues like forced migration. Professor Oguz A. Acar from King's College London highlights that companies are not only expected to generate profit but also to contribute positively to society by tackling humanitarian crises. He points out that forced migration, driven by conflicts, climate change, and economic instability, presents both a challenge and an opportunity for businesses. Companies can engage in this issue through various means such as providing employment opportunities, supporting refugee entrepreneurship, and integrating migrants into the workforce, which can lead to innovation, new market opportunities, and enhanced corporate social responsibility. Acar emphasizes that businesses have the resources, networks, and influence to make significant impacts, suggesting that addressing forced migration could become a core part of corporate strategy in the future.
