Abstract
The paper explores international
entrepreneurship as the intersection of two research fields:
entrepreneurship and international business. The objective of the
chapter is to discuss and
elaborate on the basics of international entrepreneurship, its inception
and emergence,
fundamentals and principles, as well as its branches or bifurcations.
The chapter is divided into three main sections. The first section
reveals various approaches and theoretical concepts and models of the
firm-level internationalisation process. The second section discusses
specific features of international entrepreneurship as one of the
approaches towards internationalisation process. The third section is
dedicated to the internationalisation of SMEs, which are one of the main
interests of international entrepreneurship. It seems that creating a
solid and unique methodology for international entrepreneurship is
essential to recognise international entrepreneurship as a separate
research discipline, as is true currently in the case of international
business. Taking into account the interdisciplinary character of
entrepreneurship, it is possible that international entrepreneurship
will fully become ‘a hub and a spoke’ (Mtigwe, 2006, p. 19) and a binder
for all internationalisation theories and approaches constituting the
base for the integrative models.
Keywords: international entrepreneurship, international business, internationalisation
