Abstract:

Early internationalisation and the phenomenon of born-global firms or global start-ups are a fascinating and evolving aspect of modern entrepreneurship. The literature on the subject certainly constitutes a rich collection of studies on the phenomenon of early internationalisation, much has also been devoted to the phenomenon of born-global companies. This article supplements the current knowledge in this area and discusses the genesis of the theory of early internationalisation, presents the essence and key attributes of the functioning of born-global companies, and discusses the core strategies for managing an early internationalised company. All theoretical considerations were based on scientific literature sources.
