ADVANCES IN GLOBAL LEADERSHIP

Series Editors: Joyce S. Osland, Mark E. Mendenhall and Ming Li

Recent Volumes:

For the past decade Advances in Global Leadership has landscaped the contours and the anatomy of this evolving field. Volume 11 builds on previous exemplary contributions by bringing together a judicious collection of theoretical and empirical manuscripts with several carefully chosen contributions tackling the perennial question of whether global leadership can be taught. I wholeheartedly recommend it to scholars and practitioners alike for both its accessibility and its insights.

Michael J. Morley PhD, Professor of Management, Kemmy Business School, University of Limerick, Ireland

Advances in Global Leadership (AGL) is a unique and exemplary contribution to the field of global leadership. It has for the last decade been pushing the boundaries on rigorous foundational research on global leadership while also seeking to make contributions to practice. It is home to work by world-renowned scholars and newcomers to the field of leadership. Volume 11 highlights work on the all-important issue of the efficacy of university programs focused on developing global leaders. Given the significant resources expended on these programs such an in-depth review is long overdue. I commend the editorial team for their continuing and significant role in the development of the field of global leadership.

Nakiye A. Boyacigiller, Sabanci University School of Management, Istanbul, Turkey

Global leaders are able to reach across cultures, building bridges of understanding, and the need for these capabilities has never been greater. Advances in Global Leadership consistently delivers the very latest in innovative academic research and practical experiences that define these capabilities. Volume 11 brings a special focus on Global Leadership development programs in academia, which is an important first step in defining what we must keep in mind when working to develop ourselves and the next generation of leaders.

Lisa H. Ruiz, Latin America Area Head, Regulatory International, AbbVie Inc.

Developing global leaders has become a key priority in for-profit and non-profit organizations. Today’s executives face unprecedented levels of complexity and challenges of huge proportions and consequence. Navigating these challenges requires “new” leadership competencies, such as agility, imagination, and the ability to engage a diverse set of stakeholders spread across the globe. The papers included in the present volume offer numerous insights into the nature of global leadership and how global leaders can be developed.

New Research on Global Leadership: Introduction to Volume 11

Joyce S. Osland, Mark E. Mendenhall and Ming Li

As one would expect from the name of this book and e-journal, Advances in Global Leadership publishes research and well-crafted essays that grow and advance the field. We seek articles that close the identified gaps in foundational research: construct definition clarification, theory development, identification of antecedents, outcomes and effective performance measures, assessment instruments for selection and development purposes, and developmental methods and processes, as well as richer descriptions and observations of phenomena and comprehensive literature reviews. We also echo calls for synergies between the field of traditional leadership and global leadership, given the limited theoretical and empirical cross-fertilization between these two fields.

There has been an upswing in global leadership research since 2010 (Mendenhall, Li, & Osland, 2016), and we are pleased to report that, according to a comprehensive systematic review (Vijayakumar, Morley, Heraty, Mendenhall, & Osland, 2018), Advances in Global Leadership is the most popular home for that research. The call for Volume 11 was unique in that it requested both traditional research topics and global leadership development in the university setting. Given the growth in university programs, we hoped the following suggested topics might foster effective university programs for future leaders:

• Creative pedagogies for global leadership skill development

• Institutional assessment of learning outcomes associated with global leadership skill and competency development

• “Best Practices” in curriculum program design that develops global leadership skills and competencies in students

• Faculty development programs that enhance global leadership knowledge, skills, and competencies in faculty and doctoral students

• Developing global leadership skills in students through formal relationships with foreign universities

• “Best Practices” in study abroad experiences specifically designed to develop the intercultural skills and competencies associated with global leadership

The majority of Volume 11 does in fact address these topics and serves as a wonderful primer for anyone tasked with creating or improving global leadership programs in a university setting.

We are grateful to Niall Kennedy, publisher at Emerald Group Publishing Inc. for his support and to Kerry Laundon and Sujatha Subramaniane and the entire production team. We also want to recognize Jeanne McNett for her role as a writing coach and copy-editor on some of the manuscripts. Shyla Mallenahalli Chandrashekar deserves extra special recognition for her role in coordinating and supervising the endless details involved in manuscript preparation. She and Oceane Brouard carried out the university global leadership benchmarking study presented in the last chapter of this volume. Biz Eischen also deserves special mention for her contributions to the book.

This book would not have been possible without the funding Dr Osland receives from Donald and Sally Lucas and for their generosity to the Global Leadership Advancement Center (GLAC), housed in the School of Global Innovation & Leadership at San Jose State University. She also extends her thanks to Dean Dan Moshavi, Director Taeho Park, Prabha Chandrasekar, John Merz, and the GLAC staff: Biz Eischen, Oceane Brouard, Kyoung-Ah Nam, Almaz Negash, and Pamela Wells.

Mark Mendenhall is grateful for the support of the Gary W. Rollins College of Business and the J. Burton Frierson Chair of Excellence in Business Leadership at the University of Tennessee, Chattanooga.

Ming Li acknowledges support from the University of Liverpool Management School.
