Editorial: Global business strategy with entrepreneurship and innovation

摘要

Entrepreneurship is a key facilitator of new business creation, market competitiveness and sustainability. Innovation in the global economy is a major driver of organisation leaderships, business dynamism and business value chain (Cohen and Winn, 2007; Prahalad, 1993; Sternberg and Wennekers, 2005). Entrepreneurship and innovation are integral players in global business ecology (Zhao, 2005). However, how to foster global entrepreneurs through innovation has rarely been explored. To achieve this urgent and timely topic, global businesses need more sustainable profitability, better business models and stronger leaderships in order to launch innovative high-value business ventures (Baker et al., 2005; Teece, 2003).
