Abstract
The other chapters in this book have presented a variety of perspectives and advice across topics including global leadership, cultural competencies, conflict, peace, and the unique context of the military. However, despite the advances in research and practice described, it is clear that there is still ample room for future exploration. Therefore, this concluding chapter describes a set of eight critical directions for future research that represent what we perceive as some of the most pressing needs for today’s global organizations.
