Service Content and the Internationalization of Young Ventures: An Empirical Test
研究了服务内容如何影响年轻企业的国际化倾向和选址决策，基于190家美国企业的样本发现，国际化与国内年轻企业的服务内容存在显著差异，且不同海外市场的服务内容也不同。
Young ventures are becoming increasingly sophisticated about internationalizing their firms. However, this article suggests that young ventures may be overlooking the influence of service content on internationalization. This research argues and tests the proposal that service content is a critical variable influencing both the propensity of young ventures to internationalize and their location decisions. Employing a sample of 190 U.S.–based firms, this study measures the service content characterizing a venture's output, and found (1) the service content of the outputs of international young ventures is significantly different than the service content of domestic young ventures; and (2) the service content of the outputs of international young ventures is significantly different in different overseas locations.
