- De seneste år er forskere i stadigt flere lande stødt på virksomheder, der er født internationale.Det står i kontrast til det, man traditionelt har iagttaget, nemlig at virksomheder starter med at opbygge en base på hjemmemarkedet, og først derefter langsomt bevæger sig ud på eksportmarkederne. Der har først været tale omde nærmeste markeder geografisk set, og dernæst længere og længere ud. Denne langsomme udvikling har også voeret kendetegnende for udviklingen med hensyn til produkter og med hensyn til måden man kontaktede de internationale markeder på: Først gennem mellemhandlere, senere direkte kontakt og til sidst produktion i udlandet.Den traditionelle langsomme og gradvise internationalisering via nærmarkederne er nu ofte afløst af en situation, hvor virksomheden på et meget internationalt marked så at sige fødes med et mere eller mindre globalt sigte. Denne type virksomheder, der i udgangssituationen er helt små og ofte forbliver relativt små, kaldes ofte for Born Globals, og de har været i fokus i en større undersøgelse ved Institut for Afsoetningsøkonomi, Syddansk Universitet/Odense Universitet. Tidligere artikler i Ledelse & Erhvervsøkonomi (Hansen et al, 1989; Madsen og Strandskov, 1994; Sylvest og Lindholm, 1997) har beskrevet internationaliseringsmønstre i forskellige typer af virksomheder. Denne artikel givermed baggrund i en omfattende empirisk forskningen karakteristik af Born Globals og diskutererimplikationerne for sådanne mindre virksomhedersledelse, organisation og kompetenceudvikling.

- The founding and early development of Domestic New Ventures andInternational New Ventures is examined based upon a large scale survey of Danishmanufacturing firms. The firms are classified into five different categories andcompared with regard to their foundation and development within the first 3 years.The article contributes with a demonstration of differences between these categoriesof firms with regard to the number and mindset of founders, the growth of the firm,and the networks of firm.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Purpose – The primary focus of this paper is to examine the international (import and export) activities of the firm and the impact on the firms’ criteria for choice of location and the propensity for relocation.Design/methodology/approach – A web survey was carried out among small and medium-sized Danish firms. Data used in the present study are based on responses from 622 firms. The analysis is conducted in two sub-sections. The first section focuses on how export/import intensity is related to the location motives of the firm and the propensity to relocate the firm to another national location or abroad. Pearson’s correlation with corresponding test of significance is used to explore the possible relationships between the international engagement and the firm’s criteria for choice of location. In the second section the responding firms are classified into one of four categories, as suggested in a local/global typology. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) is conducted in order to assess whether the reexist any significant differences between the four types of firms with regard to the location motives and relocation propensity for the firms.Findings – The study shows that the international engagement of the firm influences the need for better location with regard to infrastructure (especially airport and highways) and to a lesser degree other types of infrastructure (railways and harbours). Interestingly, firms put less emphasis on the direct economic factors (infrastructure) compared with access to customers/suppliers, local network and, above all, access to research institutions. The study shows that international firms put significantly more emphasis on the relationship with research institutions than more local firms. The study also indicates that a higher international engagement increases the firm’s intention to relocate abroad, which could be one of the unwanted sides of firms’ internationalisation.Originality/value – Guided by insights from location and relocation theory and international entrepreneurship theory, the connection between firms’ export and import engagement and the reasons for location and propensity for relocation are explored. The paper also suggests an internationalisation typology of firms that can be used in future research on the internationalisation of the firm.
