“…Afterwards the respective interviews were translated into English. This research is a part of the wider research based on the factors driving to early internationalization (Sekliuckiene, 2017;Czako & Konczol, 2014;Sass, 2012) and success factors of international new ventures (Jarosinski & Mierzejewska, 2017). Thus relating to the object of this research only entrepreneurial level indicators are described in this paper.…”

“…The sources of so understood success of INVs are seen in particular in the earlier experience of the founder (Danik & Kowalik, 2015;Jarosinski & Mierzejewska, 2017) and characteristics of the founder (Rasmussen & Madsen, 2002;Rialp -Criado et al 2002;Anderson & Evangelista, 2006;Jarosinski, 2012). Scholars emphasized the impact of prior entrepreneurial exposure on perceptions of new venture feasibility and desirability (Krueger, 1993); possession of prior experience, business interests and number of years' experience in the current industry (Roper, 1999).…”

“…The emergence of early internationalized small and medium sized firms called most often international new ventures (INVs) or born globals (BGs) inspired a wave of research that concentrated on developed countries (Mathews & Zander, 2007;Kuivalainen et al, 2010;Gabrielsson & Gabrielsson, 2013), including metaanalyses of the research field (Santos & Barandas, 2015;Choquette et al, 2017;Garcia-Lillo et al, 2017;Dzikowski, 2018), but much less research focused on transition economies like the Central and Eastern European (CEE) countries (Vissak, 2006;Jarosinski, 2012;Nowinski & Rialp, 2013;Ferencikova, 2014;Ciszewska-Mlinaric et al, 2016;Sekliuckiene, 2017;Jarosinski & Mierzejewska, 2017).…”

“…Although the attention to contextual aspects of internationalization of INVs is growing, little is known about different drivers and success factors of international new ventures from transition economies in CEE. The first studies touching on the determinants of the success of Polish born globals/international new ventures (Jarosinski, 2013;Jarosinski & Mierzejewska, 2017;Danik & Kowalik 2015), drivers of early internationalization of INVs in Lithuania (Sekliuckiene, 2017) and Hungary (Czako & Konczol, 2014) have already appeared but they do not cover the topic in a sufficient way yet. Moreover, most of these studies uncovered the critical drivers using samples exclusively focused on single countries.…”

International new ventures proved to contribute positively to national economies they derive from. This article analyses the entrepreneurial level factors of success at the startup stage of international new ventures (INVs) in the context of three Central and Eastern European (CEE) countries in transition: Hungary, Lithuania and Poland. Based on multiple case study approach, the study provides important insights into the international entrepreneurship theory by examining the still underexplored transition in CEE countries' context. An in-depth qualitative analysis has been performed based on 9 case studies, 3 INVs from each country. Lots of similarities emerge between INVs in three CEE countries, however their cultural and historical backgrounds are different enough to justify scholarly interest in potential idiosyncratic features. Findings suggest that there is significant diversity in the entrepreneurial level factors behind the early success of local INVs in international markets across these countries, especially in terms of direct foreign market experience, entrepreneurial orientation and existing network membership. Nevertheless, the findings reveal that in the sample focused on ITC businesses, solid industry experience of the founders proved to be key in the success of INVs' internationalisation.

Purpose This paper aims to give an overview of the literature on Central and Eastern European (CEE) firms’ successful internationalization: different authors’ understanding of success, and, thereafter, these firms’ internationalization processes, external factors, internal motivators and actions that affect successful internationalizers’ initial and subsequent foreign activities, and, finally, internationalization outcomes. Design/methodology/approach This is a systematic-narrative hybrid literature review paper that focuses on CEE firms’ successful internationalization. Findings This paper concludes that CEE firms’ “success” is understood and measured differently, successful internationalizers can experience various internationalization paths, they are affected by a large number of external impact factors, internal motivators or actions and their internationalization outcomes vary considerably. Thus, there is no “ideal” type of successful internationalization: as different CEE firms can be called “successful”, they also follow different trajectories to achieve success. Originality/value To the best of the author’s knowledge, this is the first literature review paper that gives an overview on how success has been defined in studies about CEE firms’ internationalization, if some types of internationalizers have been considered more successful and if there are any important CEE-specific contextual factors or not.
