Beschreibungen/Notizen

• The article seeks to identify the external business environment factors affecting today’s global business, “Born Global”, as a whole. It was found that the main features of the distinctness of these companies are their rapid internationalization, innovation management, and entrepreneurship. Further, the article explores the characteristics of the external business environment, which encourage innovation and are favourable to the performance of the “Born Global” companies. A review of theoretical sources identifies 16 of these external business environment characteristics. 50 interviews with Lithuanian “Born Global” companies have confirmed that all the identified characteristics of the external business environment, leading to innovation, promote Lithuanian “Born Global” companies, but only three of them are specific to the external business environment in Lithuania.
