Decision-Making in International Entrepreneurship: Unveiling Cognitive Implications Towards Entrepreneurial Internationalisation

by Vahid Jafari-Sadeghi (Editor), Hannan Amoozad Mahdiraji (Editor)

Overview

When it comes to international operations of entrepreneurial ventures, more clarification is needed to explore how, why, and under what conditions Small and Mid-size Enterprises (SME’s) decide to take the risk of expanding internationally. This collection of studies presents an understanding of the processes, methods, and approaches towards decision-making in international entrepreneurship.

Decision-Making in International Entrepreneurship provides comprehensive insight into what drives small and medium firms to internationalize entrepreneurially. Stressing multidisciplinary methods that support entrepreneurs in their internationalisation decision, the chapters analyse a broad range of statistical methods – regressions, panel data, structural equational modelling – as well as decision-making and optimisation models in both certain and uncertain circumstances.

Decision-Making in International Entrepreneurship is essential reading for researchers, scholars, and practitioners looking to synthesise the process of decision-making towards exploiting entrepreneurial opportunities across national borders.
