Abstract
This Book Chapter explores the context of global ventures, an overview of an entrepreneur's motivations and literature on internationalization strategies of firms. Entrepreneurs innovate and find new ways to create or discover new opportunities, start a new venture or grow an existing venture. Indeed, firms grow through sustainable and innovative process considering economic, social and environmental protection (the three pillars of sustainability). Indeed, entrepreneurial motivations to take business globally can be because of ‘push’ or ‘pull’ forces such as the creation of global products and services, access to global market, access to strategic resources and access to global sourcing. However, the capability to internationalize is dependent on the interaction between entrepreneurs’ internal resources and external constraints. These constraints are explained by the Ghemawat's CAGE Distance framework including, ‘Cultural’, ‘Administrative’, ‘Geographic’ and ‘Economic’ challenges.
