Entrepreneurship today is truly global: international sources of supplies, services, and customers are available to anyone online, and large-scale operations are no longer required to take advantage of global talent, supply, and distribution networks. Yet we do not have a comprehensive understanding of how international firms emerge. Building on previous research at the intersection of entrepreneurship and international business, we propose a theoretical framework for identifying and examining entrepreneurial emergence that is international from the start. This framework builds on the four well-known qualities of emerging organizations (boundaries, resources, intention, and exchange), and three key aspects of international business operations (speed, scope and intensity of internationalization). The resulting model has the potential to help researchers refocus their attention on everyday forms of emerging international firms that are ubiquitous, yet seldom explored.

今天的企业家精神是真正的全球性：在线上的任何人都可以使用国际供应，服务和客户资源，并且不再需要大规模运营来利用全球人才，供应和分销网络。然而，我们对国际公司如何崛起还没有一个全面的了解。在以往关于企业家精神与国际业务交汇处的研究的基础上，我们提出了一个理论框架，用于从一开始就识别和检验国际上的企业家崛起。该框架建立在新兴组织的四种众所周知的特质（边界，资源，意图和交流）以及国际业务运营的三个关键方面（国际化的速度，范围和强度）的基础上。
