Our thesis, " Born Global Firms and the Embeddedness of Entrepreneurial Ecosystems" examines the interaction between entrepreneurial ecosystems and the formation and expansion of born global firms. These firms, distinguished from other kinds of firms by their penetration of foreign markets from inception, are still not well understood. I believe that this is an exciting and vitally important area of research because some born global firms have the potential to grow rapidly and achieve enviable success, even in the most uncertain of times, and serve as a positive role model for the kinds of new ventures that can flourish in today's and tomorrow's very different global economy. Our research focuses on two primary questions:RQ1: How do born global firms differ from ordinary entrepreneurial firms in terms of their level of embeddedness with their entrepreneurial ecosystem, both domestically and internationally?RQ2: What factors influence the decision of born global firms to pursue global markets from inception compared to entrepreneurial firms that initially focus on national or regional markets?
