Abstract:	The purpose of this paper is to explore how Born Globals solve the resource scarcity problem typical for them. In this paper we will discuss how International New Ventures or Born Globals can increase their internationalization pace with the selection of resource scarce strategies. Our underlying assumption is that with the selection of suitable strategy, the Born Global can contribute to a decreased liability of foreignness and resource scarcity, and to an increased speed of internationalization. Based on the literature we are reviewing resource acquisition strategies, and three different resource scarce strategies, 1) an externalization strategy, including a co-option strategy, 2) a low entry mode strategy, and 3) an Internet strategy.
