Departamento de Administración; Estudios InternacionalesWe are not so interested in our home market [Colombia] because it is not very attractive related to profit and experience. Being in international markets provides us with more experience – experience regarding competitiveness. Our international market experience makes us look more attractive, more competitive. It is very different to do business with foreigners than with nationals. For instance, you have to deal with another language [English] and then there is the importance of punctuality. Here they are more relaxed concerning deadlines. The culture is very different. The learning we experience internationally definitely makes us more competitive. – Carlos Orozco, General Manager of Dewak, 2010 Introduction In February 2008, following the insolvency of their former employer (a small software company), Andres, Carlos, Daniel, Diego and Nicolas suddenly found themselves unemployed. They met for coffee in one of Medellín’s shopping malls to discuss their future careers. Considering their educational and professional backgrounds in systems engineering and informatics, they decided to focus on a software business. Andres, Carlos, Daniel, Diego and Nicolas started to work as a team of freelancers for Kayako customisation services. While working for their former employer, they had gained exposure to the open-source customer-support solutions of Kayako. Nevertheless, the business opportunity of customisation services for Kayako solutions was never exploited, due to the insolvency of their former firm. © Cambridge University Press 2013.Ítem Dewak: una microempresa colombiana creada para el mercado mundial: caso de estudio(Editorial Universidad del Norte, 2011-06-01) Alejandra Maya; Fuerst, S.Este caso de estudio muestra como cinco emprendedores jóvenes crearon una micro-empresa, llamada Dewak, en Colombia con el fin de comercializar sus servicios de personalización de software en el mercado global.Ítem Global Value Chains and Local Cluster Development: A Perspective on Domestic Small Enterprises in the 3D-Animation Industry in Colombia(Fondo Editorial Universidad EAFIT, 2010-04-13) Fuerst, S.This article draws on the framework of the “global value chain” to describe local cluster development in the 3D -animation industry in Colombia.

The process of how INVs make use of external sources for the acquisition of international market knowledge is not well-understood. Design/methodology/approach – To uncover the dynamics of the knowledge creation process, the authors applied event-driven process research by following the internationalization process of four INVs in real time. More specifically, they adopted qualitative diary research combined with periodic follow-up interviews as the main data collection method. A visual mapping strategy was used for the analysis of the process data. Findings – The analysis shows that different pathways of knowledge acquisition through congenital learning, searching, vicarious learning and grafting interact with each other. Grafting and experiential learning alongside the partner lead to the acquisition of internationalization knowledge in particular. Knowledge sources for international market knowledge are proactively created by the entrepreneurs. The wider effectual stakeholder network constitutes an important source for international market knowledge. Research limitations/implications – The authors followed the early internationalization process of the case firm in real time over a 10-month period. This provides a limited window of observation. Future research might extend the observation period to examine further the evolutionary nature of the different learning types throughout the growth of the INV. The case firms operate in Internet-enabled businesses and are all located in the same country and city (i.e. Colombia and the city of Medellin). Future studies might focus on firms operating in different industries and geographical areas. Practical implications – Congenital technological knowledge is a prerequisite for internationalization. The entrepreneur, however, does not need to rely on congenital international market knowledge. Such knowledge can be developed through network partners. Foreign business and institutional knowledge can be obtained vicariously, also from professional advisors. Internationalization knowledge, however, needs to be developed in close interaction with an international cooperation partner, where a strong relationship commitment prevails. Originality/value – The authors use effectuation theory combined with process research methods to gain insights into the dynamics of knowledge creation within the INV. Thereby, they are able to shed light on the dynamics of the process that is difficult to capture through cross-sectional research designs. Research on the internationalization process of young ventures in the context of Latin America is scarce. Therefore, the paper contributes new knowledge about the development of these firms in that particular region. © 2015, Emerald Group Publishing Limited.Ítem Shipstra:The lean start-up of a digital freight-forwarding marketplace(John Wiley & Sons Inc., 2019-01-01) Fuerst, S.The process of designing a business model is arduous, particularly when creating a digital platform aimed at disrupting a market that is used to operating in a non-digital manner. The leaders of Shipstra (www.shipstra.com), a transformative digital marketplace for the freight-forwarding and shipping sector, successfully met this challenge. The organization's lean start-up illustrates how entrepreneurs and managers of new ventures in tradition-bound industries can sidestep the pitfalls of building a business model for digital disruption. Underscoring the value of industry experience, attention to customer feedback, and personal relationships, it also sheds light on the conditions that make possible the rapid iterations essential to success in an ever-evolving digital environment. © 2019 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.Ítem Value creation during different development stages: What changes when an entrepreneurial firm transforms into a multinational corporation?(Palgrave Macmillan Springer, 2016-01-01) Zettinig, P.; Sandberg, B.; Fuerst, S.; Universidad EAFIT. Departamento de Administración; Estudios InternacionalesIn this chapter, we report on transformations of an entrepreneurial firm during its internationalisation. We propose the use of a prediction/control framework to explain how an entrepreneurial firm gradually changes into a multinational corporation. During the processes of expansion the firm deploys different behaviours that indicate shifting mindsets from approaches that can be characterised as entrepreneurial to behaviours considered as managerial. Following a firm’s development from inception to its end as independent entity we discuss how the cross-roads between Entrepreneurship and International Business disciplines might create synergies beyond their own confines by establishing International Entrepreneurship as a meaningful field of study. © 2017 The Editor(s) (if applicable) and the Author(s).
