Abstract

This study was conducted to examine entrepreneurial environment and cross-cultural management: A road map for sustaining Nigerian development. Two specific objectives guided the study and it adopted an ex-post research design. Secondary data on human development index, cultural diversity index, ease of doing business and institutional quality, covering the period of 2005 to 2022, sourced from World Bank database were used for the study. The method of data analysis ranged from Argumented Dickey- Fuller unit root test, Johansen co-integration test and multiple regression method, among others. The findings revealed that ease of doing business (a proxy for entrepreneurial environment) has positive impact on sustainable development in Nigeria, among others. The study concluded that cross-cultural management and improved entrepreneurial environment can help unlock the full potential embedded in the country. This would lead to a more inclusive, stable and economically vibrant society that foster sustainable development. Based on the findings, the study recommended among others that Nigeria, being a country with diverse culture, needs to remain united and prioritize achieving common goal of sustainable development.
