The Mission of the USASBE International Entrepreneurship Interest Group is to provide a forum for the development of academic research, teaching and curricular advances, and best practices in outreach efforts related to International entrepreneurship. International entrepreneurship is defined as the entire process of global or cross-border-based enterprise creation from ideation and invention through technology transfer and full commercialization. International entrepreneurship will include all products and services that are sourced, produced, manufactured, marketed and sold in more than one country in any industry. Our members are experienced educators and researchers and through this interest group we will focus in possible areas of cooperation in research, teaching and outreach in International Entrepreneurship.

Leadership of the Group is elected annually by the Group membership; questions relative to Group mission, membership; annual work program and objectives should be directed to one of the following members of the leadership team:
