Similar to the Spring issue of the Journal, the release of this issue coincides with the ongoing coronavirus 19 pandemic, which exposed humanity to new realities that require re-thinking of the traditional and past routine practices. Nearly everyone has encountered unprecedented uncertainties of various kinds (e.g. Akerlof 1970; Knight 1921). The pandemic exposed the world to challenges never experienced before. Different countries and firms were exposed to different levels of crises and smaller firms, especially internationalized SMEs (iSMEs), were no exceptions. As in the Spring issue (See Etemad 2020a, accessible at https://doi.org/10.1007/s10843-020-00279-z), this issue of the journal views the current occasion facing us as an opportunity to expand beyond the coverage of the four articles contained in this issue. It is noteworthy that the next four articles included in this issue were not invited, nor received any special considerations. They were regularly accepted and published in the Journal’s “On-line First” feature and have been available on-line through the Journal’s website (see, e.g. https://link.springer.com/journal/10843/online-first). They are included in this issue as they have discussed concepts, contents, contexts and issues that offer opportunities for further examination and extensions to encourage interested scholars to investigate related issues and further explore them in order to assist iSMEs with alternatives strategies for meeting challenges facing them. The highlights of the four articles that follow are presented in the next section of this article. They offer promising argument and plausible pathways based on their scholarly research relevant to an emerging, or unfolding, major challenge or crisis, including the ongoing and further unfolding COVID-19 Pandemic crisis. Structurally, this article comprises five parts. Following this brief Introduction, a developmental discussion for extending certain concepts, construct and structures with propensity to broaden, re-conceive differently, re-define and enhance their power is prestented to effectively assisting us to deal with the added complexity of challenges Journal of International Entrepreneurship https://doi.org/10.1007/s10843-020-00283-3

扩展国际企业家精神的概念，构造和决策框架，以超越普通人的视野

与《华尔街日报》春季刊类似，该刊物的发行恰逢正在进行的冠状病毒19大流行，该流行使人类暴露于需要重新思考传统和过去常规做法的新现实。几乎每个人都遇到了前所未有的各种不确定性（例如Akerlof 1970； Knight 1921）。大流行使世界面临前所未有的挑战。不同的国家和公司面临不同程度的危机，较小的公司，尤其是国际化的中小企业（iSME）也不例外。与春季刊物一样（请参阅Etemad 2020a，可从https://doi.org/10.1007/s10843-020-00279-z访问），该刊物将当前面临的机遇视为我们扩大覆盖面的机会本期中包含的四篇文章。值得注意的是，本期中的下四篇文章均未被邀请，也未获得任何特殊考虑。它们被定期接受并发布在《华尔街日报》的“在线优先”功能中，并且可以通过《华尔街日报》的网站进行在线访问（请参阅例如https://link.springer.com/journal/10843/online-first）。它们已包含在本期中，因为它们讨论了概念，内容，上下文和问题，为进一步研究和扩展提供了机会，以鼓励感兴趣的学者调查相关问题并进一步探索它们，以协助iSME采取替代策略来应对面临的挑战。本文的下一部分将介绍以下四篇文章的重点。他们基于与正在发生或正在发生的重大挑战或危机有关的学术研究，提供了有希望的论据和合理的途径，包括正在进行的和正在进一步发生的COVID-19大流行危机。从结构上讲，本文包括五个部分。在简要介绍之后，将展开一些发展性的讨论，以扩展某些概念，结构和结构，以期扩大，重新定义，重新定义和增强其功能，从而有效地帮助我们应对挑战带来的更多复杂性创业https://doi.org/10.1007/s10843-020-00283-3
