“…In turn, the international level poses greater uncertainties and perceived risks that inhibit companies from action (Liesch et al, 2011). Etemad (2015a) states that internationalisation exposes companies to different markets and requires sensitivities to differentiate among them in terms of knowledge. Environmental uncertainty and entrepreneurial culture are important drivers in international marketing implementation programs as Yang (2018) states.…”

PurposeInternational entrepreneurship (IE) has received a considerable amount of attention in the recent decades as a result of globalization enabling access to new international markets and business opportunities. Despite the growing increase in academic publications, IE still faces certain inconsistencies, with doubts remaining as regards its boundaries and the thematic groups making up the field. The purpose of this article is to systematically analyse the IE, mapping the intellectual territory and the evolution of the field.Design/methodology/approach Indexed to Web of Science( WoS) database until 2021, from 52 journals, 130 articles were selected, applying content analyses techniques to identify the main research lines.FindingsThe results reveal that IE presents four conceptual themes/clusters: (1) international business networks and opportunities; (2) institutional environments; (3) the characteristics and motivations of entrepreneurs; and (4) internationalisation drivers and processes. Extant analysis show that IE has progressed immensely, concentrating a good diversity of subtopics and research trends. An integrative framework bringing together 27 years of publications and 67 future research lines, detailed by cluster, were also presented in this study to improve understanding and guide future studies.Originality/valueThis review makes a broad contribution to the IE literature, assisting in consolidating the academic field, expanding and complementing the results of previous theoretical–conceptual studies. We reflect and individually discuss the state of the art of the four streams that characterize IE to identify key themes, points of convergence and advance new subfields.

This article reviews the evolutionary trends of a few concepts with significant theoretical and operational impacts on entrepreneurial enterprises and their internationalization experience over time. It will draw and builds on the discussion of issues that have appeared in the journal already. Recent research findings, however, necessitate revisiting some of them for developing a deeper understanding and stimulate further discussion when necessary. Although the scholarly discussion of international entrepreneurship (IE) as a field of scholarly inquiry emerged in the 1980s (Morrow 1988) and has been evolving over the past three decades, the historical records show that prominent European family firms were involved in international trade before Christianity. Furthermore, the description of actual entrepreneurs travelling from China to Central Europe, and vice versa, dates back to more than 3000 years ago (Etemad 2004a, 2013). One would, therefore, expect perfect clarity in all aspects and concept in the field by now, but some basic concepts still remain unclear, which in turn call for further discussion to gain higher clarity and stronger consensus in the field. This article will, therefore, attempt to highlight a selected list of such issues, briefly examine their evolutionary paths, place them in the context of the recent developments and empirical findings and present suggestions for their further developments toward higher conceptual and consensual clarity. Based on published reports (e.g. Cantillon 1755 and Say 2008), there is a perception that the practice of IE (or entrepreneurial internationalization) started from a clean slate in the latter parts of the eighteenth or early nineteenth century in Europe. Even within Europe, however, the prominent European family firms had engaged in trading and entrepreneurship within the European continent more than two millennia ago. Beyond Europe, trading caravans, the ancient counterparts of the modern trading missions, spanned vast territories. Caravans were composed of individual and organized entrepreneurs who travelled back and forth on the trading routes (e.g. the famed "Silk
