Business executives can’t be waiting around for a government entity to change a region's international success.
It just doesn’t work that way. But government can hinder or help.
Consider Arizona. Legislators passed (Senate Bill) SB1070 and SB1062, both of which damaged Arizona’s international standing. People from around the world — and not just Mexico — continue to ask, “Why do people in Arizona dislike immigrants?”
Executives with a global mindset must speak out as they did before Governor Brewer vetoed SB1062, which was a clear sign of progress. Unlike with SB1070, when SB1062 was passed, the business community immediately spoke up, and that made all the difference in the world.
