Abstract

Since born globals are important for the future of business and because the findings of previous studies are scattered, there is a need to develop an integrated conceptual models and comprehensive theoretical frameworks. Also, the necessity of investigating the research on born globals is mentioned in previous works. These problems in born global literature and the need for developing a comprehensive framework is a main driver for conducting this review research. As a result, the aim of this article is to collect and integrate all the empirical studies in the world regarding the success key factors of born global firms in a comprehensive framework. Therefore, this article summarizes the findings of 85 empirical studies (only studies related to early success of born globals) by using systematic review method through identifying research questions, identifying inclusion and exclusion criteria, searching by using related keywords and extracting and synthesizing data and integrates them in a comprehensive conceptual framework. Based on the developed framework, future opportunities for research, theoretical and practical implications and theoretical and contextual gaps are suggested.
