摘要

在《国际商业评论》特刊的这篇社论中，我们考察了关于诞生的全球公司（bg）、国际新企业（INVs）和国际企业家精神（IE）的研究。本期分别是Oviatt和McDougall（1994）以及Knight和Cavusgil（2004）的开创性著作发表30周年和20周年。bg和INVs代表的是在成立时或接近成立时就开始国际化的企业。IE强调主动、创新和寻求风险的行为，以识别和利用国际机会，实现卓越的国际绩效。在考察了1994年以来对bg、INVs和IE的研究之后，我们探讨了最近的现象是如何改变国际商业（IB）环境的，以及这些变化对早期国际化公司的影响。然后对本期特刊的文章进行介绍和总结。最后，我们提出了IB这一独特领域未来研究的潜在主题和理论观点。

Born globals, international new ventures, and international entrepreneurship: Reflections and a research agenda

In this editorial for the Special Issue of International Business Review, we examine research on born global firms (BGs), international new ventures (INVs), and international entrepreneurship (IE). This issue marks the 30th and 20th anniversaries, respectively, of the seminal works by Oviatt and McDougall (1994) and Knight and Cavusgil (2004). BGs and INVs represent enterprising firms that begin internationalizing at or near their founding. IE emphasizes proactive, innovative, and risk-seeking behaviours that identify and exploit international opportunities to achieve superior international performance. After examining research on BGs, INVs and IE since 1994, we explore how recent phenomena have altered the international business (IB) environment and the impact that these shifts have had on early internationalizing firms. We then introduce and summarize the articles in this special issue. We conclude by proposing potential themes and theoretical perspectives for future research in this distinctive area of IB.
