Abstract: This research analyzes the effect of individual and corporate global mindset (GM) on the internationalization of Portuguese, Norwegian, and Lithuanian firms. The sample consists of 526 small- and medium-sized firms and the data analysis uses the structural equation modeling (SEM) methodology. The results reveal the importance of the relationship between individual global mindset and corporate global mindset and the influence on the SMEs' internationalization factors. This research confirms the factors that identify corporate GM and recognizes the cultural context influence on the research model, thus presenting a relevant contribution to literature.
