TY  - JOUR
AB  - Much of the literature on international new ventures (INVs) tends to focus on early internationalization and view it as the expression of firm-specific advantages that existed prior to internationalization. This paper presents a normative framework that articulates how INVs can leverage internationalization to drive de novo competitive advantage. Drawing on organizational capability and business model literatures, the framework of Strategic Entrepreneurial Internationalization (SEI) argues that INVs that adopt an active learning orientation (LO); a niche orientation (NO); encapsulate cross-border asymmetries in their activity system (AE); and adopt a business model experimentation approach (BME) are more likely to succeed in building sustainable competitive advantage.
