傳統上，國際市場競爭是大型公司的天下，而小型公司則傾向于保持本地或區域性。國際化是一些企業感興趣的擴張選擇，但很少是競爭的必需品。許多企業選擇避免在國外市場競爭的不確定性，只是保持公司規模小、本地化。因此，傳統的國際化理論主要關注大型跨國公司，與小型公司關系不大。然而，隨著貿易自由化，國內企業受到國際競爭對手的威脅，這些競爭對手正在滲透到以前受保護的市場。如今，國際化影響到每個人，無論他們是否希望國際化。必須應對國際化的威脅和機遇。

全球化正在改變小型和大型企業的競爭環境。因此，國際化問題將繼續對企業越來越重要。公共政策議程已經包括幫助企業家在國際化方面取得成功的計劃。人們越來越需要在企業家精神以及大型跨國公司的背景下了解國際化。

了解公司如何、何時以及為何國際化（無論是逐步還是不逐步）必定會成為精力充沛的研究人員關注的焦點。然而，到目前為止，學術界一直缺乏一本專門研究國際化問題的期刊。為了填補這一空白，上述編輯團隊希望提供一個高質量研究的渠道，以應對國際化固有的機遇和挑戰。

本期刊的主要讀者將是企業家精神和國際商務研究人員。此外，讀者群肯定包括商界人士和政策制定者。

編輯部誠邀投稿分析國際化、結合理論和實證研究的文章。研究人員將被鼓勵進行比較研究，并評估競爭理論。編輯團隊的組成——包括國際商務專家和創業專家——旨在避免編輯偏見。我們將盡一切努力在六十天內就投稿做出初步決定。
