N2 - Many academics cite research gaps in the literature concerning the strategies used by Born Global (BG) organisations to enable competitive advantage and business continuance. (Andersson et al 2020; Eggers et al, 2020; Ibeh et al, 2019; Oyna and Alon, 2018). For the purposes of this paper, the definition of the Born Global is taken from Gabrielsson et al, (2008): “the organisation should be an independent small or medium sized business, have a global vision from inception and demonstrate internationalisation with precocity and speed”. Purpose: This paper investigates Domain Redefinition (DR) a component of Corporate Entrepreneurship (CE), as a viable construct to explain competitive advantage and business sustainment in Born Global Firms (BG). Design Approach: This paper will take the form of a short literature review, charting the journey through the literature which led to the discovery of the link between Domain Redefinition and Born Global firms. Findings: The shadow of Schumpeter is imprinted within DR, it is the one form of CE whose behaviour prerequisite is the constant drive to create new markets offering unique products and services (Kuratko and Andretsch, 2009).
