Abstract

In this final chapter, we provide an overview of the results of this research in the light of the research questions posed in the introduction. Rather than going into details about the particular outcomes, the overview here will be presented on a higher level of abstraction. For specific outcomes, the relevant chapter is referred to. After this overview of results in Section 7.2, that is structured based on the literature study and our field research, we discuss the contributions of this thesis to theory in Section 7.3. We believe that this study as part of the third stage of leadership research contributes to the body of knowledge on global leadership theory. A theory on the concept of a global mindset has already been suggested, but empirical studies to support research models and theory are rare. This book has shed some light on the concept of a global mindset and its dimensions and two other related mindsets: the local mindset and the universal mindset. The study also contributes to the knowledge on the relationship between a global mindset and leadership effectiveness. In addition, the study explored the influence of personal and person-in-job factors on global mindset which has also barely been examined in the past. The global mindset construct contains contextual issues and also conceptual issues. We discuss these first, followed by measurement issues and the global mindset dimensions and typology.
