Abstract: Born Globals, the phenomenon of rapidly internationalising firms is widely accepted and noted in literature. Yet, in review of 51 empirical articles we found disquieting discrepancies in: operationalisation of the phenomenon concerning age of firms surveyed, speed, intensity, and scope of their internationalisation process. Based upon our analysis and results we invoke new directions for further research.

Keywords: born global; new business ventures; internationalising firms; operationalisation; internationalisation speed; internationalisation intensity; internationalisation scope; small and medium-sized enterprises; SMEs; entrepreneurs; international entrepreneurship; rapid internationalisation.
