Comparing with traditional international enterprises, international entrepreneurial enterprises have their different growth mode and path. Existing literature focused on performance of internatoinal new ventures, and paid little attention to factors contributing to their international growth; what’s more, researchers ignored the important effects induced by external institutional environment. We hope to explore the international growth path of international entrepreneurial enterprises thus to expand theories about international entrepreneurial enterprises on one hand, and on the other hand, provide practical guidance for new ventures in emerging economies to mend their international pace and improve their international conpetence.Through literature review, we concluded relative theory of international entrepreneurial orientation, institutional environment, resource integration capability and international growth.
