Abstract: Knowledge Management for International Entrepreneurs Entrepreneurs are increasingly competing internationally from their earliest stages. In this competitive global environment, complexity is a common denominator for the business environment in which entrepreneurs work, and knowledge is a competing factor with which entrepreneurs can reduce complexities and distinguish themselves from competitors. Little research has been done concerning knowledge management for international entrepreneurs. This pilot study will lead to frameworks and findings that support the design of future projects on knowledge management for entrepreneurs in the international setting. The study will target knowledge management in a Chinese company, the XinAo Group, that is expanding its business outside of China. It will focus on three dimensions of XinAo's knowledge management efforts - technological, cultural and human capital. In-depth interviews with XinAo managers will be the primary research method, supplemented by site visits and the collection of relevant company documents. |
