Objective: The purpose of this study was to analyze the relationship between the constructs of international entrepreneurship (IE) and global mindset (GM). Method: A bibliographic investigation was conducted in the journals of the Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Education Personnel (CAPES), Emerald Insight, Scopus, Spell, Springer and Web of Science. Descriptors (English and Portuguese) were used in the databases to search for scientific articles that related to the themes of IE and GM. Main Results: Convergences and divergences between the IE and GM constructs and contemporary trends were perceived. Regarding convergences, two important aspects were present in this discussion: the entrepreneur's behavior and its influence on the internationalization process. Entrepreneurial skills, international knowledge, and global orientation stand out in entrepreneurial behavior. In the internationalization process, the speed of internationalization is emphasized as part of the process. Regarding the differentiating characteristics between the IE and GM constructs, cosmopolitanism is present in the first and a combination of individual global mindset (IGM) and corporate global mindset (CGM) is present in the second. Relevance / Originality: This is a theme little discussed in the literature. This study highlights the influence of GM, its relationship with IE, and the factors that can jointly impact international networks. Theoretical / Methodological Contributions: This research clarifies that, although the GM can be expressed independently of EI, the performance of IE is related to the presence of GM.

International entrepreneurship and global mindset: a theoretical discussion

The competencies of global leadership are increasingly relevant in transnational organizations, requiring development of their leaders.  Among the qualities of a global leader, the global mindset (GM) is expressed in the ability to alter national and business barriers, integrating cultural and market perspectives, independent of the assumptions of a single country, and requiring adaptive skills for all environments and business situations. Being one of the attributes of GM, psychological characteristics consist of passion for diversity, self-confidence, search for the unknown, cross-cultural encounters and reflecting on the individual's ability to thrive in unpredictable and complex environments. This research aimed to analyze the impact of international experiences and previous leadership experience of 58 individuals over their psychological capital. For this, the PCQ-24 instrument was used to quantify the attributes of psychological characteristics: self-efficacy, hope, resilience, and optimism. The main finding was international experience had only little influence. On the other hand, previous experience in leadership roles positively influenced their psychological capital, especially the self-efficacy component. Because of the findings, practical and research recommendations are outlined.
