International Entrepreneurship

This book analyzes the emerging issue of international entrepreneurship and proposes a new theoretical perspective grounded on case studies.

Over the last decade, international entrepreneurship has become a key emerging issue in international business studies. A growing number of recent contributions has made the subject topical and lively but it lacks a common framework. This book starts from the foundations of the subject, rooted in entrepreneurship, strategic management and international business studies, and proposes an innovative and integrated interpretative framework. The approach is applied to case studies, in order to reconcile theories and practices of international entrepreneurship.
