Mello, R. (2017): The characteristics of the Global Mindset in the context of the New Supply Chain Agenda [In German]
Global supply chains have evolved from pure production efficiency to a value-added system. This necessary transformation process is illustrated in the literature by the five pillars of the New Supply Chain Agenda (NSCA). The three dimensions of the global mindset – intellectual capital, social capital, as well as psychological capital – are analyzed and integrated into the context of the worldwide economy. This paper is a short overview of the future challenges in supply chain management and an intensive discussion of intercultural competence Supply Chain Management. This bundle of necessary competencies, which an internationally oriented executive must have to lead employees, teams or entire organizations in the sense of the goal achievement, is then placed to the pillars of the New Supply Chain agenda. The important link of the two models as well as the associated possibilities to meet the requirements for global diversity are illustrated by recent case studies.
Hruby, J., Watkins-Mathys, L., Hanke, T. (2016): Antecedents and Outcomes of a Global Mindset: A Thematic Analysis of Research from 1994 to 2013 and Future Research Agenda
Within the literature of global mindset, there has been much discussion of antecedents. Few attempts have been made, however, to analyze the outcomes of a global mindset. Our chapter undertakes a thematic analysis of global mindset antecedents and results in the 1994–2013 literature. Adopting an inductive approach and borrowing methods from international business and managerial cognition studies, we map, assess, and categorize 42 empirical and ten theoretical studies thematically. We focus on the antecedents and outcomes at an individual, group, and organizational levels. We conceptualize the global corporate mindset as a multidimensional construct that incorporates global mindset at the individual level and is dependent on a robust communications infrastructure strategy for its cultivation throughout the organization. Our study categorizes antecedents and outcomes by level and identifies the gaps in global mindset outcomes and firm performance for future researchers to address.

[Success at international level] [In German]
Internationalization has already become an imperative for many companies. One of the strategical success factors is the implementation of appropriate strategies that takes on board the conflict between global standardization and local adaptation. From this emerged, the concept of “Global Mindset” as a means of sustaining competitive advantage. Nevertheless, what lies behind this concept is explained as well as how to recognize whether a Global Mindset is present.
Hruby, J., Hanke, T. (2014): Mindsets für das Management
[Mindsets for the Management] [In German]
Everybody has limits on their capacity to absorb information. How does Management select the right people with the right skills, who are at the right time in the right place, to meet the demands set by the ever-growing market competition? In today’s dynamic world of business, employees of an organization must work with a range of complexity, ambiguity, and diversity. To be able to do this, we need to understand the DNA of cognitive thinking, the so-called mindset. However, what is a mindset, and how can we increase and measure it?
Hruby, J. (2014): Global Mindsets [In German]
The development of a global mindset is a critical success factor of a company in the international competitive context. A global mindset is defined as the cognitive skill to understand and connect different cultures. The role of managers is to work around complexity, diversity, uncertainty and ambiguity, to facilitate teamwork among people from different countries and cultures, to coordinate employees and processes in different places, as well as to arrange operations across national, organizational and functional boundaries. Studies prove that a global mindset positively influences a company’s Success. Possibilities for measuring or diagnosing a company’s global mindset are recommended to complete this process.
