Abstract

ABSTRACT Our research finds that even before a start-up has formed, a combination of the entrepreneur’s willingness and ability to internationalize determines the likelihood that an entrepreneur will in fact internationalize. Even before a venture is launched, entrepreneurs already have an internationalization mindset that influences their engagement in internationalization activities later on in the entrepreneurial process. Two hundred and thirteen early-stage entrepreneurs in a business accelerator participated in this research. Using intake data, we mapped their entrepreneurial internationalization mindset profiles. Two years after intake, we observed the actual internationalization behavior of the firms. We discuss the implications of our research for entrepreneurship policy makers, support organizations, business accelerators, and entrepreneurs.
出生前的全球:企业家国际化心态研究
我们的研究发现,即使在创业公司形成之前,企业家的国际化意愿和能力的结合决定了企业家实际国际化的可能性。甚至在创业开始之前,企业家就已经有了一种国际化思维,这种思维影响了他们在创业过程中参与国际化活动。213名创业加速器的早期创业者参与了这项研究。利用入学数据,我们绘制了他们的创业国际化思维特征图。入学两年后,我们观察了企业的实际国际化行为。我们讨论了我们的研究对创业政策制定者、支持组织、商业加速器和企业家的影响。
