A Capabilities Perspective on the Effects of Early Internationalization on Firm Survival and Growth
探讨早期国际化对企业生存和增长的不同影响,并分析组织年龄、管理经验和资源可转移性如何调节这些影响,为组织研究者提供可检验的理论框架。
Recent critiques of internationalization process models question the wisdom of delaying internationalization. Internationalizing late allows firms to assemble resources and gain experience but also allows inertia to develop. We resolve this tension by positing that internationalization has differing effects on firm survival and growth. These effects are moderated by organizational age, managerial experience, and resource fungibility. Our framework provides insights into the evolution of capabilities across borders and may be tested and built on by organization researchers.
