Cross-cultural management has attracted more and more scholars' attention because of some important challenges international firms are facing on the global market. Thanks to increasing mobility, firms are becoming multicultural environments where people from different countries meet and work together. These people reflect different working cultures, are inspired by different values and filter their actions through different beliefs, and managers need to build up multicultural teams, finding ways to help people work well together. Culture impacts all aspects of management and even the reasoning and processes behind the start-up of new ventures, but the literature on these topics is still fragmented and no consensus has emerged about the influences of culture. Theoretical and empirical explorations are needed to understand how culture impacts the international growth of entrepreneurial firms.This special issue will be of interest both to scholars who work in this topic and to managers who deal with international environments.
