摘要:An international new venture has been defined by as “a business organization that from
inception, seek to derive significant competitive advantage from the use of resources and the sale
of outputs in multiple countries” (Oviatt and McDougall, 1994, p. 49). In this study, we make a
distinction between international start-up ventures and international new ventures. The
international start-up venture is “born international” which means that resources critical to the
creation of the venture are drawn from more than one country and that the firm intends to do
business in at least two countries. The international new venture include international start-up
ventures and firms that within their first eight years and seek to create or sustain a competitive
advantage from the use of resources acquired from and/or sales made in multiple countries.
