The authors provide a snapshot of opinions on the different aspects of innovation in the way they were conceptualized in the academic literature. The insights are based on a selection of 32 peer-reviewed journal articles addressing the different challenges associated with early internationalization and innovation in such ventures. The article emphasizes that the early internationalization of new ventures should be considered as an innovation process in itself and that innovation and internationalization have a positive effect on each other. In addition, it points out the role of knowledge acquisition and networking capabilities as key innovation enablers and refers to the emergence of the lean startup perspective on the innovation processes in born-global firms. The suggested insights will be relevant to researchers and practitioners interested in the relationship between early internationalization and innovation in international new ventures and lean global startups.10aborn global10abusiness model10aearly internationalization10aInnovation management10alean startup approach1 aZijdemans, Erik1 aTanev, Stoyan  uhttp://timreview.ca/article/82601874nas a2200205   4500008004100000022001400041245007600055210006900131260004200200300001000242490000600252520127000258653001601528653001801544653001801562653001301580100001901593700002001612856003601632       2014                        eng d  a1927-032100aCybersecurity Startups: The Importance of Early and Rapid Globalization0 aCybersecurity Startups The Importance of Early and Rapid Globali  aOttawabTalent First Networkc11/2014  a14-210 v43 aCorporations and government agencies worldwide seek to ensure that their networks are safe from cyber-attacks, and startups are being launched to take advantage of this expanded market for cybersecurity products, services, and solutions. The cybersecurity market is inherently global; therefore, cybersecurity startups must globalize to survive. With this article, we fill a gap in the literature by identifying the factors that make a technology startup valuable to specific stakeholders (e.g., investors, customers, employees) and by providing a tool and illustrating a process to describe, design, challenge, and invent the actions that should be performed to globalize a cybersecurity startup early and rapidly for the purpose of increasing its value. The development of the tool builds on recent advances in the resource-based literature, the review of the literature on born-global firms and business model discovery processes, and the experience gained operating the Lead to Win ecosystem. This article will be of interest to entrepreneurs and their venture teams, investors, business development agencies, advisors, and mentors of cybersecurity startups as well as researchers who develop tools and approaches that are relevant to technology entrepreneurs. 10aborn global10acybersecurity10aglobalization10astartups1 aBailetti, Tony1 aZijdemans, Erik  uhttp://timreview.ca/article/845
