- Abstract
The concepts of "born global" and a business model of the hi-tech small and medium sized enterprises (HSME) are very topical for small open economy countries. The paper aims to conceptualise the environment and processes preceding implementation of a business model for becoming global by HSMEs. The empirical study based on seven cases representing ICT and biotech companies demonstrates different knowledge accumulation and learning periods preceding their globalization, and absence of clear boundaries between their business models.
