Cultural diversity is the main ingredient of a truly global corporation reflected in its management, business processes, policies and technologies. Global firms must possess a worldwide network of technology and human resource practices to provide product, service and information dissemination. Educating employees about other cultures should be another focus of global firms. Information sharing and cooperation between members of the different branches of the organization are also essential to gain competitive advantage.

Global start-ups: entrepreneurs on a worldwide stage

Article Abstract:

Global start-ups are firms that decide to go global from the beginning. Factors to consider in establishing a global start-up include the kind of human resources found in other countries, availability of foreign financing, global nature of demand and the need for international sales. Successful start-ups are those with founders who establish a global vision and managers experienced in international business. The sale of innovative products and services is another success factor.

New venture internationalization, strategic change, and performance: a follow-up study

Article Abstract:

The internalization of 62 US new ventures in the computer and communications equipment industries in the late 1980s is studied. Results indicate that higher levels of internationalization were highly associated with relative market share two years later. There was no significant relationship between international sales and return on investment (ROI). Ventures which increased their internationalization incurred higher correlations between strategic change, ROI and market share.
