“Born global” (BG) firms have attracted many researchers
throughout the last decade. The emergence of this phenomenon initially
posed a serious challenge to the validity and applicability of the
traditional “stage” theory of internationalization; however,
scholars have more recently been able to reconcile traditional and new
theories into a single framework for studying the process of
internationalization. This volume applies both network theory and
knowledge-based theory to analyze export assistance in the context of
internationalization of low-tech BG firms in developing countries
(with an in-depth study of the apparel industry in Bangladesh).
The findings that non-governmental network partners provide more
useful advice than government agencies is one that may resonate
through other countries, including developed economies.
Government’s more useful role is confined to the financial support
and incentives that are provided to such firms. It is, however, the
commitment to exporting that emerges as critical for performance, more
so than export strategy, suggesting that enhanced export performance
is to attract, reassure and motivate entrepreneurs in ways that
strengthen their commitment to international expansion.
