Abstract
Global mindset and openness to change by upper echelon healthcare executives are positioned in this research proposal as prerequisites for competitive responses to a paradigmatic shift in the provision of healthcare worldwide. The proposal addresses a gap in the health care management literature evidenced by a deficit of empirical research pertaining to the relationships among global trade, health and health services and responds to a call for more, and more specific, cross-cultural studies that provide practical implications for international management. Motivated by prior research indicating the pivotal role of top manager's world views and attitudes on institutional responses to globalization, the paper outlines a prospective qualitative inquiry into the understandings of healthcare executives in four countries (the U.S. and three Asian markets) relative to cross-border trade as a threat or opportunity and their interpretations of institutional global capacities and global potential as reflected in strategy, mission and identity.
