This paper explores how family involvement influences the entrepreneurial business. Therefore, the paper gives an understanding of how the family forms the embeddedness and how its involvement constitutes a change to the entrepreneurial business. The main background used for this work analysis is the Family Embeddedness perspective developed by Aldrich and Cliff. It equally seeks to bridge the gap that exists in the literature framework, which gives a new direction for upcoming researchers. Furthermore, the report uses the entrepreneurial business stages to categorize the insights by time.
This study was conducted on three independent cases of small born global firms in the manufacturing industry. The main data sources of this paper were primary data and secondary data, collected between 2000 and 2007. The primary data consist of a total of 108 personal interviews with 58 respondents achieved through snowball sampling and Secondary data was collected through annual reports, internal reports, photographs, newspaper articles, memos, and contracts.
Our key findings indicate that family members have a major influence on the entrepreneur. Moreover, this paper explores the different extent in which the family involved in the entrepreneurial growth throughout different stages with typical challenges.

Although there are various benefits for SMEs to expand their businesses to international markets, there are various obstacles that discourage them to move internationally, especially in emerging markets. This study focuses on the capacity building to enhance SME export activities in an emerging market. Even though the latest literature in the area of export performance have focused on firms from the emerging countries, studies in this area are still limited. Earlier research in this area has mostly focused solely on the determinants of exports performance from either internal factors, external factors or both without using adequately potential mediating factors which could affect export performance. This paper develops and tests a holistic framework for SME export considering all aspects of export drivers, and inhibitors. This theoretical framework incorporates and tests three potential mediators (i.e., business strategy, export marketing strategy and innovation strategy) as well.
This study draws on the contingency framework, resource-based view and market-based view to provide a holistic understanding of the research issue. It is based on primary data collected by survey and three main methods of descriptive statistics, confirmatory factor analysis, and structural equation modelling for quantitative analysis. The initial data analysis confirms and shows the significant effects of various internal and external firms’ determinants on their export performance. The final research finding have significant implications for understanding all key drivers of SME export in Qatar, and it helps policymakers and regulators to improve the current SME ecosystem in Qatar. Finally, the final results of this study can be extended to other emerging markets with similar economic and legal structure.

The report describes the ongoing innovations in the financial sector brought about by digital currencies from a multi-level perspective: systemic, technical, legal, and industrial. The report extensively covers the current trends in the domain, in order to give the reader a quantitative understanding of the potential opportunities and risks arising from the global adoption of digital currencies.

International new ventures (INVs) and born globals, companies that internationalise from inception, have existed for centuries, but they gained popularity only about 20 years ago. Since then the international entrepreneurship field has been well developed from the entrepreneurship and international marketing perspectives, but the strategic management perspective still lacks attention. Our work develops a framework for the INV internationalisation strategy formulation using existent international entrepreneurship and international business models. We conduct a phenomenological study employing a qualitative multiple case study research method. We sample 12 INVs from the Baltic States to test the framework and identify 4 viable INV internationalisation strategy configurations. Then we detect a link between business models, which we proxy by universal internationalisation goals, and INVs' internationalisation strategy configurations. The INVs that employ simpler business models and internationalise only to increase sales choose limited geographical scope and easier to implement strategy configurations, namely export start-ups and geographically focused start-ups. More complex business models that require internationalisation to survive impose more demanding global strategies – multinational traders or global start-ups. The framework employs a configuration approach, but is prescriptive in nature and is practically applicable in the INV's strategy formulation process to help founders develop and formalise cohesive viable international strategies.
