According to Knight and Cavusgil (2004) a course that can be split to consider the phenomenon of the Born Global, is to accept that the creation of new enterprises is one of the fundamental pillars of the economic and social development of a country, especially those of this type because they allow to successfully address international markets, by the permanent implementation of innovation processes the application of deep knowledge and skills in the field of international undertaking on the part of their owners and through their processes of export, leverage a distinctive mix of strategies and guidelines that make it easier for them to get more successfully to internationalize your products and services, making the process of internationalization of a country, enabling the processes of trade between blocks, regions, countries, etc. Colombia to increase the number of international treaties with various countries in very different latitudes allows you to extend the possibility of participating in a greater crucible of possibilities for trading goods and services; invites us to analyze what is happening at this time with the formation of companies with international orientation in our country; Government policies that support this kind of intentions, the regulatory framework that underpins the processes of enterprise internationalization, among other elements, and its impact on employers, who are facing the challenge of meeting the new global demands. The theoretical basis that occurs, is based on studies on Born Global companies, obtained through interviews to this type of business in the city of Bogotá; such as the innovative capacity of the latter, knowledge of international trade as an alternative to successfully enter foreign markets, a significant number of contacts abroad, international entrepreneurship culture, the permanent search for effects of differentiating its products and services, allowing them to access positions of privilege within market segments in that move.

This essay examines the development of China's high-tech parks and, in particular, the challenges they have encountered. It concludes that lack of institutional support for innovation and the indigenous technological capabilities necessary to be competitive, unclear ownership, lack of venture capital, and the overwhelming role of government have impeded the efforts of China's high-tech parks to duplicate the success of role models such as Silicon Valley.

Purpose This study aims to explore the entrepreneurial marketing (EM) behaviour of Swedish born globals entering the Chinese market through their international networks. Drawing from the network theory of small firm internationalisation, this study is positioned in the domain of EM, and thus captures the relevance of EM behaviour to explain how born globals internationalise through their networks. Design/methodology/approach A qualitative case study approach of two Swedish born global companies active in the Chinese market is used. The network theory helps analyse the data in the three phases of firm internationalisation processes. Findings The study shows the importance of networks for the enactment of EM for born globals. The study traces the evolution of network development in the market entry process of born globals and highlights the importance of aligning network leverage with contextual factors for market performance. Research limitations/implications The generalisation of the findings is limited due to the exploratory nature of the study and the size of the research sample. Practical implications Management of different types of networks is essential in the entry process and further growth of born globals in the Chinese market. In addition, born globals operating in psychically distant and complex institutionally contexts can especially gain support from intermediary networks. Originality/value This study extends knowledge of international entrepreneurship by demonstrating that born global managers can enact EM behaviour by leveraging networks to gain rapid entry into the Chinese market. It further highlights the role of firms’ networks in the EM activities in their internationalisation. The conceptual underpinnings of EM and network theory provide greater understanding of how born globals enter and grow their psychically distant markets.

The paper deals with the indices of creative cities. Author analyses the different creativity indices suggested by both the followers and the critics of R. Florida. The author criticizes the Florida’s indices such as Bohemian, Melting pot, Gay, High tech, Innovation, Talent indices, as well as Minor integrative (diversity) and Major integrative indices. The indices of other authors presuppose the questions about the role of the region in defining certain creativity indices. The author makes conclusion that the uniform formula of creativity indices is impossible for two reasons. First, the creativity indices depend on the region of a city. Second, the very strategy to have the uniform creativity indices makes the cities similar to each other and no more unique, consequently, no more creative; as result, this strategy is anti-creative.
