Internet-enabled experiences and the internationalisation process of the firm: A virtual service firm perspective.

Abstract

This thesis contributes to the under-researched phenomenon of Internet-enabled internationalisation within international entrepreneurial firms. Specifically, by investigating the interplay between international entrepreneurs, international experience, and international opportunities, the research sheds light on how international entrepreneurs operating in Internet-enabled environments accumulate and leverage their international experience; and how such experience may influence the way in which international opportunities are identified. In doing so, the research highlights the impact of changing global and technological realities on firm internationalisation processes in under-examined settings, such as virtual firms and services more broadly.
