The field of international entrepreneurship (IE) has accomplished a highly significant progress in the past three decades. A handful of articles were introduced in the decade of the 1980s and a few seminal articles formally introduced the birth of the newly emerging field of IE to the scholarly community early in the decade of the 1990s (e.g., McDougall et al. 1994, Oviatt and McDougall 1994), and an accelerated development followed, which reflected the true state of practice and scholarship then (e.g., Etemad 2004, 1999a, 1999b, Etemad and Lee 2003, Dana et al. 1999). The practically side of the young field experienced rapid growth as smaller firms such as born globals (Knight and Cavusgil 2004) the International New Ventures (INVs) (Oviatt and McDougall 1994) and rapidly internationalizing enterprises (RIEs or RIFs) (Etemad 2007; Etemad and Wu 2013; Keen and Etemad 2012a, b, 2011), expanded internationally at a high pace. The young scholarly field began to observe, learn, and further address the managerial, practical, and policy aspects of entrepreneurial internationalization, beyond those restricted to academic and scholarly research and publications. Understanding the nature of entrepreneurial internationalization, the combining related aspects of entrepreneurship and international business(IB) initially, and the lesson of affiliated, or complementary, fields enriching the young field later on did not take too long, mainly due to the use of relevant concepts and strategies of other allied fields by SMEs and internationalizing SMEs (iSMEs) over the years. These accelerated developments expedited the evolutionary pace of IE. As a result, IE’s orientation transformed into a highly functional as well as a multi-disciplinary scholarly field and held the promise of learning from the state-of-the-art of other field’s advances and lessons of the prevailing practice with minor delays. It is noteworthy that the very first narrowly focused session presenting the early foundations of, and the need for, research in international entrepreneurship consisted

过去二十年国际创业的演变趋势：面对 COVID-19 全球危机的领域现状

在过去的三十年里，国际创业（IE）领域取得了非常显着的进步。少数文章在 1980 年代被介绍，一些开创性的文章在 1990 年代初向学术界正式介绍了新兴的 IE 领域的诞生（例如，McDougall et al. 1994, Oviatt and McDougall 1994），随后加速发展，反映了当时实践和学术的真实状态（例如，Etemad 2004, 1999a, 1999b, Etemad and Lee 2003, Dana et al. 1999）。年轻领域的实际方面经历了快速增长，例如出生的全球公司（Knight 和 Cavusgil 2004）、国际新风险投资公司（INVs）（Oviatt 和 McDougall 1994）和快速国际化的企业（RIE 或 RIF）（Etemad 2007；Etemad 和吴 2013；Keen and Etemad 2012a, b, 2011)，在国际上高速扩张。年轻的学术领域开始观察、学习并进一步解决创业国际化的管理、实践和政策方面的问题，而不仅仅局限于学术和学术研究和出版物。了解创业国际化的本质，最初结合创业和国际商务（IB）的相关方面，以及后来的附属或互补领域丰富年轻领域的课程并没有花费太长时间，主要是由于相关的使用多年来，中小企业和国际化中小企业 (iSME) 对其他相关领域的概念和战略。这些加速发展加快了 IE 的发展步伐。因此，IE 的方向转变为一个功能强大的多学科学术领域，并承诺从其他领域的最新进展和流行实践的经验教训中学习，并有轻微的延迟。值得注意的是，第一次集中讨论国际创业研究的早期基础和必要性的狭隘会议包括
