39 Born Global Founders Piereluigi Zappacosta (Italian) Daniel Borel (Swiss) Giocomo Marini (Italian) Met while studying engineering at Stanford University Acquired rights to sell a Swiss-designed optomechanical cursor control (mouse) Incorporated in Switzerland in 1981 and in the U.S. a few months later Manufacturing and marketing operations in Switzerland, Taiwan and U.S. By 1990, had captured 35% worldwide market share of OEM market and 27% of the worldwide retail market for the mouse business

40 Key Drivers of Emergence of Born Globals Technology- easier, faster, cheaper Fax Satellite communications Internet Transportation faster, more efficient, cheaper Containerization of freight Air travel prices Crumbling trade barriers Globalization of markets convergence of buyer preferences and lifestyles worldwide

41 The Internet makes business through virtual markets possible anytime and anywhere!

42 International New Ventures/Born Globals Are Different from Multinational Enterprises NVs face liabilities of newness (Stincombe, 1965) Survival is a critical issue for NVs For NV, a misstep in international arena may mean death because of lack of slack resources NVs enjoy learning advantages of newness (Autio, Sapienza & Almeida, 2000)

43 Learning Advantage of Newness (Autio, et al., 2000) As firms become larger & established -- develop routines, procedures & structures New firms -- flexible & open to international opportunities

44 Who wants to be an entrepreneur and sell in the international marketplace?

45 Eurobarometer Survey on Entrepreneurship(2009) Preference for self-employment Europeans 45% of all Europeans would like to be self-employed 49% would prefer working as an employee. Chinese has the strongest preference for self-employment (71%), Japanese have the weakest preference for self-employment (39%) Favorable image of entrepreneurs United States 73% Europe - 49% China - 40% Japan - 32% Korea - 30%

46 What Does Research Tell Us? Global Vision International experience Global networks Primarily technology-based or knowledge intensive firms International knowledge can be sourced externally VC, alliances, proximate firms Geographical location matters

47 The Power of Entrepreneurship The phenomenon we are witnessing today has less to do with risk-taking than with the simple observation that people, not institutions, create change. In this respect, perhaps our entrepreneurs are leading our nations to a rediscovery of business as a process limited only by the boundaries of each individuals intelligence, imagination, energy, and daring.
