Abstract

This chapter advances the argument that, together with the international new venture (INV; or, born global (BG) firm), the unit of analysis in international business (IB) strategy should also be the micromultinational enterprise (mMNE). Based on the IB strategy and international entrepreneurship (IE) literatures, the chapter posits that the mMNE is a salient international entrepreneurial firm that has been neglected from most empirical work. The argument is built on an IE literature search and subsequent conceptualization around the dimensions of international entrepreneurial orientation (IEO). It is posited that risk attitude manifested in hefty resource mode commitments (contractual joint ventures and wholly owned subsidiaries) forms a key entrepreneurial dimension that should be a major focus of empirical analysis beyond innovativeness and proactiveness. The main contribution of this chapter is that it delineates the dimensions and manifestations of IEO and advances research in this area. The aim is to persuade the reader that the mMNE should be a focal firm of interest in the IB strategy and entrepreneurship arenas.

这不仅是国际新企业，也是微型跨国企业，爸爸!

本章提出的论点是，与国际新企业(INV;或者，天生的全球(BG)公司)，在国际业务(IB)战略的分析单位也应该是微型跨国企业(mMNE)。基于IB战略和国际创业(IE)文献，本章假设mMNE是一个突出的国际创业公司，被大多数实证工作所忽视。该论点建立在IE文献检索和随后围绕国际创业取向(IEO)维度的概念化之上。本文认为，在大量的资源模式承诺(合同合资企业和全资子公司)中表现出来的风险态度构成了一个关键的创业维度，除了创新和主动性之外，它应该成为实证分析的主要焦点。本章的主要贡献在于描述了IEO的维度和表现，并推进了这一领域的研究。其目的是说服读者，跨国企业应该是IB战略和创业领域感兴趣的焦点公司。
