Not much is known about the characteristics of “early internationalizers” in their later life and there is
scant empirical literature – and an acute need for quantitative studies – about the features of Born
Internationals (BIs) after their first years of operation. In this context, we aim to describe the later life
of BIs and determine whether some of the critical aspects of internationalization are visible in their
post-birth features. This study contributes to the literature on internationalization by providing
quantitative evidence on key post-birth characteristics of BIs. Guided by five research hypotheses, it
explores changes in the BIs’ profile and tests whether or not there are differences between newer BIs
and older ones in a sample of SMEs. The results support the basic cumulative dynamics proposed by
the incremental school in terms of international business experience, international commitment, and
level of internationalization, which implies that these factors can to some extent be viewed as driving
forces in the internationalization process of BIs. [--]
