This chapter aims to analyse the literature on the relationship between international entrepreneurship and technology. Additionally, this essay seeks to provide a critical discussion of the technology elements that entrepreneurs should consider facing new global markets. The analysis was performed using the Structured Literature Review (SLR) as a reliable, rigorous, and international validated method of investigation. Additionally, researchers used as tools for analysis the Dedoose software, the Bibliometrix R package, and the VOSviewer software to mine bibliometric and coding information. The main results find out four main research streams as academic spin-off as a means of technology transfer, the growth of technology and the need for social sustainability, the role of high technology in international enterprises, and technology and the competitive role for international entrepreneurs. Additionally, coding analysis reveals that much of the research in this topic is based on strategies of influence of technology as external components to the international entrepreneurship field. To the best of our knowledge, this chapter can guide academics and practitioners in the identification of the main elements of this research stream and addressing future research challenges.

Abstract

This chapter aims to analyse the literature on the relationship between international entrepreneurship and technology. Additionally, this essay seeks to provide a critical discussion of the technology elements that entrepreneurs should consider facing new global markets. The analysis was performed using the Structured Literature Review (SLR) as a reliable, rigorous, and international validated method of investigation. Additionally, researchers used as tools for analysis the Dedoose software, the Bibliometrix R package, and the VOSviewer software to mine bibliometric and coding information. The main results find out four main research streams as academic spin-off as a means of technology transfer, the growth of technology and the need for social sustainability, the role of high technology in international enterprises, and technology and the competitive role for international entrepreneurs. Additionally, coding analysis reveals that much of the research in this topic is based on strategies of influence of technology as external components to the international entrepreneurship field. To the best of our knowledge, this chapter can guide academics and practitioners in the identification of the main elements of this research stream and addressing future research challenges.
