Research on International New Ventures
Abstract
Scholars have conducted research on international new ventures (i.e., start-ups that from inception seek sales across national borders) for about 20 years. My talk will highlight some of the important past work on the topic, describe some of my own recent research on these firms, and identify some possibly fruitful directions for future research on international new ventures.
