International entrepreneurship: Where are we, and where do we need to go?

Event details

While entrepreneurial activity that crosses national borders is not a new phenomenon, the academic field of international entrepreneurship (IE) is still quite young. This is an important phenomenon to understand, given the global impact of internationally-active entrepreneurial firms. Scholars have developed a base of knowledge pertaining to IE, but there is still much that we do not know – there remains a great deal to learn. In this seminar, I will discuss how IE and international business are related (and distinct), and raise a number of questions that need to be addressed in order to advance our understanding of IE.
