of networks; entrepreneurial firms in developing economies; and entrepreneurial actors, with a focus on the interrelationships between the entrepreneur, family, and gender, as well as
discussion of students’ entrepreneurial behavior. Examples of specific topics include leadership and organization in ＂born globals,＂ social networks and inter-organizational ties of
knowledge-intensive firms, the process of commercializing a medical technology innovation through international trade fairs, a meta-analysis of international entrepreneurship from emerging
economies, institutional perspectives on the internationalization of small and medium enterprises from transition economies, dynamics of development of the locally owned generic pharmaceutical
industry in Bangladesh, the role of key foreign employees in successful development, the role of female- and male-specific traits in entrepreneurial activities, a gender perspective on how
entrepreneurs access and use networks and social capital to internationalize, and entrepreneurial attributes and internationalization perceptions of German business students in comparative
perspective before and during the economic crisis. Annotation ©2014 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR (protoview.com)
