This paper explores the difference between domestic new ventures(DNV) and international new ventures (INV). New ventures pursue business opportunities in their target markets armed with experienced founding team, distinctive competitive strategies, and different entry time at foreign market. As a result, INVs were founded by larger number of founding team and more experienced in international business. Also INVs enter earlier global market and pursue business opportunities than DNVs. in In terms of competitive strategy, INVs highlight continuous quality improvement and diverse customers compared to DNVs focused on intellectual property rights. INVs get higher profitabilities in financial performance. Finally, this paper suggests some managerial implications for new venture to explore business opportunities in the global markets.

Research addressing international new ventures' social responsibility activities is scarce. Specifically, researchers have little account for the effects of an international new venture's social responsibility efforts on the outcomes of relationships with local customers in emerging economies. Against this background, we attempt to extend the boundaries of an understanding of the effects of international new ventures' social responsibility engagement on local customers' loyalty through customer trust and customer identification in emerging economies. Based mainly on the stakeholder theory and the relationship marketing theory, our study conceptualize two facets of international new ventures' social responsibility efforts: ethical and philanthropic corporate social responsibility engagement. In addition, we identify positive customer relationship-building mechanisms for each facet. Furthermore, our study presents an empirically testable propositions that would explain how international new ventures' social responsibility efforts influence the outcomes of relationships with local customers in emerging economies. Finally, this manuscript provides a discussion of the present study' implications for theory and practice and limitations that naturally lead to future research on international new ventures' social responsibility activities in developing economies.

Purpose - As ahigher-order ability, improvisational capability is often employed to help a firm cope with unexpected or unanticipated issues. In light of the severe global business challenges and turbulent environmental changes, this study aimed to explore whether home-based network ties could shape the influence of improvisational capability on international entrepreneurship, alongside investigating the boundary conditions of competitive turbulence in their moderating effects. Design/methodology - The sample for the international entrepreneurship sector was obtained from the Industry and Information Technology Department of Jiangsu. In September 2021, the questionnaires were sent to the targeted ventures and required the top managers to complete the survey by email or telephone. The final research sample comprised 113 international new ventures. To test the hypotheses, moderated hierarchical regression analysis was conducted. Findings - Our empirical results suggested that (1) unlike some previous literature, a positive effect of improvisational capability on the performance of international new ventures was not found; (2) home country-based networks (both political ties and business ties) are contingent factors that may partially stimulate the value creation of improvisational capability; and (3) in a highly competitive environment, the moderating role of business ties at home may become much stronger, however, the contingent role of political ties at home was not found. Originality/value - This study mainly concentrates on the two important types of home country-based networks, political and business ties at home, that may help international new ventures access strategic resources necessary for supporting the performance implications of improvisational capability. Thus, it extends the existing improvisational theory to encompass international entrepreneurship.

The present study aims to examine the role of market orientation as an international partnership property. This property, labeled export-venture market orientation, is at the inter-firm level and is related to the new market development (NMD) activities of export-ventures. Specifically, this article is to define the export-venture market orientation; to argue that it is a major factor in NMD export-venture success; and to argue that the resource-advantage (R-A) theory of competition can provide a theoretical foundation for this concept and explain its contribution to export-ventures' international expansion success. This manuscript is conceptual in approach. In their efforts to strengthen relationships, export-ventures may tend to focus so much time on the partnership factors that they miss market opportunities. As a spanning process, NMD should be informed by both external and internal activities. In an export-venture, market orientation helps guide NMD activities from outside to inside and vice versa. As a dynamic and disequilibrium provoking process, the R-A theory can theoretically ground the concept of export-venture market orientation and explain its role in NMD export-venture success. The current study contributes to business marketing theory in three ways: it extends the concept of intra-organizational market orientation to an inter-organizational context; contributes to understanding the role of idiosyncratic resources in export-ventures; and theoretically explains the concept of export-venture market orientation. The present study is the first to extend the concept of market orientation into inter-organizational NMD framework and to examine the role of export-venture market orientation in NMD export-venture success.

Purpose - Along with emerging international entrepreneurship, there is a need for exploring the influencing mechanism of dual network embeddedness of the host country on international entrepreneurial performance. Drawing on network embeddedness theory and organizational improvisational theory, the present study constructs a theoretical model regarding the logic relationships between the dual network embeddedness of the host country, organizational improvisational capability, and international entrepreneurial performance. Design/methodology - Using a questionnaire survey, our study conducted data in two ways. The final research sample comprised 129 international new ventures. To test the hypotheses, a three-step mediation test method was conducted. Findings - Our empirical results suggested that both host-country social network embeddedness and industrial network embeddedness significantly affected the international entrepreneurial performance. Organizational improvisational capability significantly affected the international entrepreneurial performance. Third, organizational improvisational capability partially played mediating role in the relationship between the dual network embeddedness of the host country and international entrepreneurial performance. Originality/value - This study mainly concentrates on the two important types of host-country networks, host-country social network embeddedness and industrial network embeddedness, that may help international new ventures access the strategic resources necessary to support performance. Thus, it extends the existing network embeddedness theory and improvisational theory to encompass international entrepreneurship.

수출성과는 수출마케팅 연구의 핵심적인 주제이다. 본 연구는 기업이 해외 수출시장전략으로 선택한 적응화 전략과 표준화 전략이 실제로 마케팅 변수에 실행된 수준과 그 결과 획득된 수출성과 사이에 어떤 상관성이 있는지를 탐구함으로써 적응화와 표준화의 전략적 활용성을 높이는데 도움을 주고자 하였다. 본 연구의 실증분석은 우리나라 수출시장으로 진출하고 있는 뉴질랜드의 수출기업을 대상으로 하였다. 적응화와 표준화는 전략 실행의 정도와 수준을 의미하는 연속적인 개념으로 각각 강점과 약점을 가지고 있다. 실증분석 결과 적응화 전략의 경우 수출성과(만족과 불만족한 수출사업)의 차이는 제품 변수보다는 가격, 장소, 촉진 변수에서 유의미하게 나타난 반면, 표준화 전략의 경우 가격, 장소, 촉진 변수보다는 제품 변수에서 수출성과의 차이가 발견되었다. 이는 기업이 해외 수출시장을 공략할 때 제품 변수는 표준화 노력을 그리고 가격, 장소, 촉진 변수는 적응화의 노력을 기울일 때 만족한 수출성과를 얻게 될 가능성이 높다는 점을 시사해주고 있다.

Learning has become an important aspect for any organization to stay relevant and competitive in the corporate world of survival. In construction industry, the international construction joint ventures (ICJVs) provide an excellent platform with opportunity of learning among partners seeking to develop new area of competency and improve their overall competitiveness for their next project endeavor. This paper discusses the development of a conceptual model of effective learning in ICJVs using four major stages of development in a typical joint venture (JV) 's process. The study identified that there are three key constructs that contribute to effective learning comprising learning conditions in the JV's pre-inception stage, success factors of JV for learning in the forming & organizing stage, and learning actions in the implementation & adjustment stage. The effective learning outcomes are measured by the characteristics of learning organization during the JV's completion & evaluation stage. Details and issues of each stage and the methodology of research will be presented and discussed.

This paper develops a model of the export timing and export performance of venture firms by drawing by resource based view and born-global firm theory. The model aims at explaining the role of internal resources of small new venture firms and environment factors in accelerating the firm's export timing and achieving export growth. Hypothesses were developed around the following factors: management characteristics in terms of CEO's foreign experience and export commitment; organizational characteristics in terms of technological competence and marketing competence, and inter-functional cooperation; and finally environmental factors in terms of domestic and market attractiveness and foreign market attractiveness influence both the export timing and export performance. Structural equation modeling analysis by using 214 small new ventures provides a partial supports for the hypotheses. The result showed that technological competence have an influence on early export timing and that CEO's foreign experience and export commitment, technological competence and foreign market attractiveness are related export performance significantly. It also showed the significant relationship between export timing and export performance.

본 연구는 국내 벤처기업의 경영성과에 미치는 영향요인을 최고경영진의 국제적 기업가정신과 기업의 내부적 역량(마케팅 역량, 연구개발 역량)을 중심으로 실증분석하였다. 이를 위해 이론적 연구를 통해 국제적 기업가정신이 벤처기업의 경영성과 사이의 직접적인 관계와 국제적 기업가정신이 벤처기업의 마케팅역량과 연구개발역량을 매개로 경영성과에 미치는 간접적인 관계를 연구모형으로 설정하였다. 또한 실증분석에서는 115개의 첨단산업에 속한 국내 벤처기업을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시한 후 공분산구조분석을 통해 변수들간의 인과관계를 검증하였다. 연구결과 최고경영진의 국제적 기업가정신은 중소벤처기업의 경영성과에 부(-)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 확인되었다. 반면에 국제적 기업가정신은 중소벤처기업의 내부적 역량인 마케팅 역량과 연구개발역량에 정(+)의 영향을 미치고 있는 것으로 확인되었고 마케팅역량과 연구개발역량은 경영성과에 유의한 영향을 미치고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 즉, 국내 벤처기업의 최고경영진이 가지고 있는 기업가정신은 기업의 내부적 역량(마케팅역량과 연구개발역량)을 매개로 경영성과에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 연구결과는 소수의 최고경영진만이 가지고 있는 국제적 기업가정신은 경영성과에 도움이 되지 않고, 국제적 기업가정신이 마케팅부문과 연구개발부문에 전파되어 조직 전체의 수준에서 국제적 기업가정신이 발휘되어야 경영성과가 높아질 수 있다는 것을 의미하는 것으로 향후 벤처기업의 글로벌화에 있어서 이론적 실무적 시사점을 제공한다.
