摘要：Firms’ Internationalization is a gradual and incremental process where firms concentratedin their home country and internationalized over a period. This research work hassought to find out the determinants of born-global firms in Nigeria. 121 copies ofquestionnaires were administered to selected companies in Nigeria, only 102 werereturned. Only 64 firms met the criteria for classification as a born-global firm. Logisticregression was employed to analyse the data. The response rate is 84.30%.The resultreveals that Enterprise Support Agencies (ESA) network and cultural proximityincrease the probability of a Nigeria exporting MSMEs being a born global firm, but thetechnology level at which the firm does business, does not significantly increase theprobability of a Nigeria exporting MSME being a born-global firm. It is recommendedthat the government should enhance the capacity of the enterprise development agenciesas well as create more awareness about its operations.
