Opis

In the aftermath of the global recession, job creation is a policy priority. One of the business types identified as dynamic job creators are ‘born globals".

Through a combination of secondary data analysis, literature reviews and international case studies, European Born Globals sheds new light on the motivations and processes of job creation in born global firms. It will contribute to understanding the ‘why’ and ‘how’ of job creation in born globals, essential not only for policy makers, but also for academic research and management education.
