How cross-national border influences of global phenomena render entrepreneurship inherently international

Amid accelerating global change, entrepreneurship is increasingly shaped by political, social, and technological shifts that cut across borders. Yet, despite these pressing realities, international entrepreneurship (IE) scholarship has paid limited attention to how such global phenomena impact entrepreneurial actors, behaviors, and circumstances. This suggests a disconnect between the evolving global context and current academic attention to the field. Drawing on our perspective as area editors for IE at the Journal of Business Venturing, we reflect on this gap and the concerns voiced across the scientific community about the field's scope and future. In response, we propose an agenda for future research that treats entrepreneurship as inherently international and, in turn, invites future contributions not only by IE researchers but also from the wider entrepreneurship community.
