Risk Management in International Business

The aim of this thesis is to explore how International New Ventures (INV)/Born Global (BG) manage risk associated with early internationalization. To achieve this goal I will review the literature and examine what scholars have covered in regards to the risk associated with INV’s and BG’s early internationalization. Risk and early internationalization is described as being influenced by many different factors, any of which can impact the outcome of the internationalization. How the specific risk situation is managed by INV’s/BG’s is a huge topic, but given the width of the subject many scholars choose specific types of firms or cases and argues how these handle challenges, including but not limited to risk. The specific topic of risk management during early internationalization is therefore under-researched. This warrants more investigation into the topic and is a gap of knowledge in the literature.
The studies have all investigated different research objectives and by posing differing research questions they have ultimately come to either different or similar conclusions.
This thesis will focus on the theoretical framework and findings of two years of international entrepreneurship research, with a chapter for comparison and discussion of similarities or differences in the studies. The goal of the literature review is to undercover how scholars use risk management in their studies and compare it to a risk management theoretical framework later in the thesis.
