Abstract(s)
International entrepreneurship is generating an increasing stream of research. However, this is
mainly concerned with the description of strategies used by born globals and with the comparison
between their behaviour and that of traditional exporters. The study of the very early stages of the
entrepreneurial process as well as the contrast with purely domestic ventures has been neglected.
This exploratory paper, based on case studies of two pairs of high tech firms (ICT and
biotechnology), focusses on the differences of opportunity framing processes between born
globals and domestic ventures. Empirical evidence shows that born globals’ entrepreneurs frame
their opportunities with no geographic boundaries, show higher-levels of self-perception, master
deeper and more complex knowledge and are more involved in international networks than the
founders of domestic ventures.
