The topics of strategic orientations (SO) and strategy are extensively discussed in the broad literature of the field. However, the importance of the topic deserves even more and this special issue aims to further contribute to our collective understanding of what leads to an effective strategy in internationally oriented entrepreneurial firms. The complex and the competitive context(s) of strategy and their internal-external interactions, for example, are not deeply discussed, the aim of this article is to suggest a game-theoretic frameworks to provide a common competitive context for formulation and implementation of strategy in international entrepreneurship (IE) and to build on the seven papers that follow in order to highlight the impact of the underlying orientations, including strategic orientation (SO), and the importance of resource and prior-preparations for effective formulation and successfull implementation of strategy in order to obtain desired outcomes in entrepreneurial internationalizations. …

In an environment with “cap and trade” regulations, the added advantage of such operations is in generating a lot of tradable credits that environmentally harmful operations would willingly buy.
