Abstract

International entrepreneurship or global entrepreneurship specifically examines and prioritises the role of the entrepreneur as a key factor in the internationalisation process of the firm or non-profit organisations (Wach & Wehrmann, 2014). Thus, research in international entrepreneurship emphesizes the "human factor".

International entrepreneurshipdescribes internationalisation as a "combination of innovative, pro-active, and risk-seeking behavior that crosses national borders and is intended to create value in organizations" (McDougall & Oviatt, 2000, p. 903).
