the level of entrepreneurship in that country
Entrepreneurship is also seen as the driver of
innovation and economic development for any
nation
Entrepreneurship not only creates new job but also
generates new wealth and growth
35 International Entrepreneurship and
Small Businesses
Many multinational firms rely on entrepreneurs
and small businesses to do business when
entering a new country

38 Entrepreneurial Partnering
Foreign entrepreneurs know the
country and culture.
They can facilitate business transactions
and update the entrepreneur on business,

Good partners share the
entrepreneur’s vision, are unlikely to
exploit the partnership, and can help
the entrepreneur achieve his or her
goals.
