The collection consists of survey data in pdf and CSV, Chapter 4 - Research and findings from the dissertation and Chapter 5 - Case study from the dissertation.<p>This article presents findings from research conducted pre-COVID-19 on companies located in the Zurich airport region of Switzerland, regarding the need for global business travel and its impacts. Five hypotheses were tested using inferential statistics on survey data, three of which yielded significant relationships. Supporting Ha(1), a significant positive relationship was found between “travel frequency” and “business growth”, F(1, 100) = 11.31, p = 0.0011. Supporting Ha(4), corporate culture had a significant positive relationship with business travel frequency (F(1, 100) = 15.50, p = 0.0002) and average trip length (F(1, 100) = 6.39, p = 0.01). And thirdly Supporting Ha(5), corporate social responsibility had a significant relationship with global business travel (91 percent). Ho(2) and Ho(3) were accepted. Deeper context was explored through an interview-based case-study. The research found that smart corporate travel policies and regulations should be instantiated to enhance our environment, which would also benefit employee wellbeing. Travel can be reduced significantly despite being demonstrated that physical co-presence is important for building trust. The case study suggests tools to support the monitoring and management of global business travel by organizations. COVID-19 has impacted travel for business significantly, and future research will be necessary to assess its impact. The article explores the ongoing research in this area, and several relevant implications are proposed for future leaders.</p>
