Can organizational learning makes Chinese exporting firms more entrepreneurial?

Research output: Chapter in Book / Conference PaperChapter

Abstract

![CDATA[International businesses face highly complex environment as their operations span multiple national boundaries. When firms internationalize, the requirements on their skills and capabilities multiply. Being entrepreneurial is one among the numerous facets of a firm’s capabilities that is deemed to be essential. In fact, internationalizing is already an entrepreneurial activity (Casson, 2000; Schumpeter, 1939; Simmonde & Smith, 1968) as engaging in business across international borders re-quires adaptation of otherwise usual practices as well as a certain amount of risk taking. Thus, entrepreneurship is of crucial importance to international performance and is actually becoming a necessity (Covin & Slevin, 1989; Lumpkin &Dess, 1996). Yet, research investigating this relationship is still scarce (Balabanis &Katsikea, 2003; Lampe et al., 2020) although those in the non-international settings are ample (Barringer & Bluedorn, 1999; Colvin & Slevin, 1991; Zahra, 1991, 1993, to name just a few).]]
