Dealing with the tensions between innovation and internationalization in SMEs: A dynamic capability view
从动态能力视角调和了关于创新与国际化对中小企业绩效互补效应的争议，发现与大学合作或多元国际市场经验能提升同时进行研发和出口的企业的盈利能力，且效果因企业绩效水平而异。
Previous literature disagrees on the fact that innovation and internationalization are decisions with a complementary effect on the performance of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) performance. We reconcile the contrasting views on this topic by using a dynamic capability perspective. We show that the simultaneous involvement in research and development (R&D) and export activities positively impacts SMEs’ profitability when such firms collaborate with universities and research centers, or when their international experience involves a diverse set of geographical markets. The magnitude of these moderations is different for low and high performers, thereby showing the lack of a “one best way” to successfully achieve complementarity between R&D and internationalization decisions.
