Abstract

This article offers insights into research on the strategic orientations of international new ventures (INVs) and born global firms (BGs) with the aim of presenting a conceptual research framework to guide future research on this topic. This article finds that while most extant research has focused on the relationships of various types of strategic orientations across INVs and BGs performance, further research should pay more attention to antecedents and factors influencing the strategic orientation pathways and international performance outcomes of these types of firms. The authors further introduce the content of this special issue of the JIEN, which contributes to the ongoing discussion on strategic orientations in the developing domain of international entrepreneurship (IE).

While the article simultaneously focuses on both types of firms: INVs and BGs, we also acknowledge some efforts have been made to better distinguish among (the interchangeable use of) these labels or terms, particularly in terms of speed and global reach (see, for example, Madsen 2013; Andersson et al. 2013; Cesinger et al. 2012).
