我们对‘天生的全球人’(BG)的知识是支离破碎的，缺乏一个完整的框架。从企业基于知识的角度出发，分析了瑞士、德国和澳大利亚等国活跃在国际上的生物技术中小企业(SME)的竞争优势的形成和保护，使他们能够尽早和迅速地走向国际化。我们的研究结果对“天生的全球人”的一些传统看法提出了质疑，并讨论了对现有知识体系的影响以及对实践者的影响。
Our knowledge on ‘born globals’ (BG) is fragmented and lacks an integrative framework. Starting from a knowledge-based view of the firm, we analyse internationally active biotechnology small and medium enterprises (SMEs) from Switzerland, Germany, and Australia to find out about the generation and protection of their competitive advantage that enables them to internationalise early and rapidly. Our results question some of the conventional wisdom on ‘born globals’ and discuss implications for the established body of knowledge as well as implications for practitioners.
