Abstract:
The focus of this paper is on Entrepreneurial Global Mindset, an important cognitive
capability and a source of sustainable competitive advantage for an international new venture.
Developing a global mindset means acquiring a set of specific competencies. We put forward a
definition of entrepreneurial global mindset and a model linking global mindset and its constituents
to competencies and effective task performance. Based on the available evidence regarding what
constitutes a global mindset in entrepreneurs and which mindset-related competencies are trainable
rather than innate, we suggest that some of these competencies can and should be taught as part of
the entrepreneurship education curriculum. We propose entrepreneurship education and training
strategies geared toward stimulation of international entrepreneurship and increasing the probability
of success of international new ventures.
