We propose a typology that captures the heterogeneity of international new ventures’ (INVs’) entrepreneurial behavior and their commitment to foreign markets. The typology identifies four types of INVs, highlighting the dynamic interplay between the degree of radicalness of their entrepreneurial behavior and the level of their foreign market commitment. By integrating theories from both international business and entrepreneurship, we illustrate how the diverse underlying capabilities and networks of different INV types provide strategic advantages. Moreover, we argue that changes in the degree of radicalness in INVs’ entrepreneurial behavior over time reveal important temporal dynamics with strategic and performance implications. Our typology addresses a limitation in international entrepreneurship research by emphasizing the INVs’ entrepreneurial essence, which has often been overlooked. Prior conceptualizations of INVs have primarily focused on aspects such as the degree and mode of internationalization, neglecting the diversity of their entrepreneurial approaches. Consequently, our understanding of the sources of INVs’ competitive advantage and resilience in international markets has been limited. Our typology offers an array of novel research questions that merit thorough empirical and theoretical explorations.

我们提出了一种类型学，可以捕捉国际新企业（INV）创业行为的异质性及其对国外市场的承诺。该类型确定了四种类型的 INV，强调了其创业行为的激进程度与国外市场承诺水平之间的动态相互作用。通过整合国际商业和创业理论，我们阐释了不同 INV 类型的多样化基础能力和网络如何提供战略优势。此外，我们认为，随着时间的推移，INV 创业行为的激进程度的变化揭示了具有战略和绩效影响的重要时间动态。我们的类型学通过强调 INV 的创业本质（这一点经常被忽视）来解决国际创业研究的局限性。以往对INV的概念主要关注国际化程度和模式等方面，忽视了其创业方式的多样性。因此，我们对 INV 在国际市场上的竞争优势和弹性的来源的理解是有限的。我们的类型学提供了一系列新颖的研究问题，值得进行彻底的实证和理论探索。
