The influence of the entrepreneur and the accelerator in the internationalization process of web-based firms
The Changing Global Economy and its Impact on International Entrepreneurship(2016)
摘要
The crucial role of the entrepreneur and importance of the entrepreneur’s network for entering into new markets are widely reported. Similarly, business accelerators have been a rising organizational model in the last two decades. The aim of this chapter is to identify the role of the entrepreneur and accelerator programs in the internationalization process of web-based companies through a qualitative study of nine web-based firms from different countries. This chapter argues that in the internationalization process of web-based companies, entrepreneurs are relatively young and have an international experience (from 5 to 7 years). The most essential service for web-based companies offered within an accelerator program, is mentoring along with access to networks. In order to benefit from the largest networks, web-based start-ups should join both local and foreign accelerators programs.
