International Entrepreneurship and Capability Development—Qualitative Evidence and Future Research Directions
基于多企业定性研究,探讨新创企业在环境根本不确定性下如何形成和巩固新能力,构建了基于认知的能力涌现模型,对创业研究中的能力起源与演化提出未来方向。
In this article, we explore how new capabilities emerge and solidify in new ventures that are faced with fundamental uncertainty from their environment. To do so, we draw from the organizational and entrepreneurial literature on cognition and capabilities. Using initial qualitative evidence from a multifirm study in the context of new venture internationalization, we develop a cognition–based model of capability emergence in new ventures. Our findings extend the capability development and learning implications of internationalization to the fundamental character of organizing processes in start–ups. Moreover, we derive avenues for future entrepreneurship research on the origins and evolution of capabilities in new ventures.
