Sam Palmisano, then Chairman of IBM made a prophetic statement in 2006, "The MNC of the late twentieth
century had little in common with the international firms of a hundred years earlier, and those companies were
very different from the great trading enterprises of the 1700s. The type of business organization that is now
emerging -- the globally integrated enterprise -- marks just as big a leap." We are currently witnessing the
confluence of two major research streams, international management and international entrepreneurship - that
thus far have stood independent of each other; often for good reasons as their targets were two different
ecosystems - multinational enterprises and international new ventures. There is gathering evidence that new
ventures internationalize piggybacking on MNEs, and MNEs expand their geographic scope by leveraging
externally the services of new ventures. However, scholarship is fragmented across ‘entrepreneurship' and
‘international management' that one group hardly gets to think through the eyes of the other. This symposium
will address the emerging research opportunities of this globally integrated enterprise, that links MNEs and
INVs, and identify some practical ways to advance the field and the practice of international business. (For more
