Abstract
International experience in the internationalisation process has been recognised as in important element of international business research. While the concept of prior international experience is well established, the literature is limited both conceptually and empirically in explaining how international entrepreneurial firms accumulate and apply different types of experiences, such as those experiences accumulated in Internet-enabled environments. Given the significance of these new types of experiences, a conceptual framework is constructed and propositions are developed in order to focus attention on the relationship between international entrepreneurs, and their prior international experiences for the recognition of international opportunities. We postulate that an international entrepreneur’s orientation and Internet-enabled experiences are important for the recognition of new international opportunities. Recommendations for future theory development are presented, along with the implications for international entrepreneurs.
