Abstract:
This Master's Thesis will be centered around the topic of foreign entrepreneurship. The main goal of the research is to identify the impact of facilitators - i.e. key persons that possess a deeper knowledge of certain aspects of the host country (such as language, economic & legal practices, entrepreneurial ecosystems, etc.) - in setting up and developing a venture in a foreign country.
In the first part of the work, a theoretical framework will be built by reviewing the main literature centered on the most relevant theories on the topic. The second part will be a qualitative empirical analysis, carried out through direct interviews with entrepreneurs that started a venture in a foreign country.
The data will then be analyzed and discussed, and conclusions will be drawn in regards to the research question.
