Abstract: Abstract Internationalization has traditionally been understood as a process of a gradual expansion overseas that starts with the firm’s engagement in low risk, low cost and low commitment foreign country operations, and gradually progresses to higher levels of cost, risk and commitment involvements. Nevertheless, recently, authors have increasingly recognized the emergence of firms that internationalize fast from inception to multiple countries manifesting high levels of international commitment (Oviatt and McDougall, 1995, 2005a; Parker, 1998; Rialp et al., 2005; Zhou et al., 2007). In the international business literature such firms have been recognized as born global, and typically considered to be outcomes of international entrepreneurship. Ultimately, the emergence of international entrepreneurship and born global firms has challenged the dominant view of internationalization as an evolutionary and gradual process of international involvement.
