“…Westhead et al reported that founders of SMEs with denser information networks (operating in business environments characterized by abundant information sources and by the high degree of interconnectedness between operators in the network) and management know-how were signifi cantly more likely to be exporters. In another longitudinal study, Gomez-Mejia (1988) found that higher risk tolerance positively infl uenced export performance. Because of the similarity of their fi ndings to our own, we believe any retrospective biases associated with our cross-sectional design are minimal.…”

“…Leonidou et al (1998) found 10 studies investigating this issue, 8 of which found support for the positive association between degree of exports and risk tolerance. Gomez-Mejia (1988) and Cavusgil (1993) likewise showed that an entrepreneur's attitude to risk-taking was positively related to the success of export attempts and export performance. Mehran and Moini (1999) measured managements' attitudes on risks and profi ts in exporting.…”

Human capital and SME internationalization: a structural equation modeling study

et al. 2007

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This study uses a structural equation modeling technique to predict the internationalization of small and medium‐sized enterprises (SMEs) from the entrepreneur's human capital (dimensions: international business skills, international orientation, environmental perception, and management know‐how). While international orientation and environmental risk perception predicted internationalization, international business skills and management know‐how did not. The implications of these findings for research and practice are discussed. Copyright © 2007 ASAC. Published by John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

“…Moreover, company size (Bloodgood et al 1996) and location (Fernhaber et al 2008;Steensma et al 2000) positively influence international entrepreneurship. In the specific context of small and medium enterprises (SMEs), internal factors enhancing international entrepreneurship include the management team's international experience (Reuber and Fischer 1997), the availability of human capital (Manolova et al 2002;Gomez-Mejia 1988), the degree of external ownership (George et al 2005), inter-firm relationships (Dana 2001), and the availability of information related to foreign markets (Welch and Wiedersheim-Paul 1980). Zahra and George (2002) also report on the environmental factors that enhance international entrepreneurship.…”

The role of family ownership in international entrepreneurship: exploring nonlinear effects

et al. 2010

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Empirical research on international entrepreneurship is growing, but results on the role of family ownership in this phenomenon are inconsistent. We believe these inconsistencies owe to prior researchers having not yet investigated nonlinear relationships. Drawing on opposing perspectives of stewardship and stagnation, we explore potential benefits and drawbacks of family ownership for international entrepreneurship and explore nonlinear relationships among these two variables. Using a sample of 1,035 US family businesses and applying ordinal regression analysis, we find an inverted U-shaped relationship between family ownership and international entrepreneurship: International entrepreneurship is maximized when family ownership stands at moderate levels. We discuss the implications of our findings for theory and practice and indicate avenues for future research.

“…A study implemented among 388 firms from Florida [15] revealed that the manner in which human resources strategy is implemented plays a significant role in subsequent export performance. Mavridis [24] analyzed the difference in business models between Greek localized firms and globalized ones.…”

moć koeficijenta dodatne vrednosti intelektualnog kapitala (engl. Value Added Intellectual Coefficient, VAIC), na finansijske performanse 300 najvećih srpskih izvoznika. Istraživanje je podrazumevalo analizu uticaja pojedinih komponenti koeficijenta VAIC na finansijske performanse pomenutih preduzeća. Istraživačke hipoteze su definisane u skladu sa sličnim studijama koje su se bavile uticajem IK na finansijske performanse. Merila performansi koja su korišćena u ovom istraživanju su podeljena u dve kategorije. Prva grupa se sastoji od indikatora povezanih sa izvoznim performansama, kao što su obim izvoza i obim izvoza po zaposlenom. Druga grupa je sastavljena od tradicionalnih merila performansi (prinos na kapital, prinos na aktivu, profitabilnost i produktivnost zaposlenih). Podaci su analizirani pomoću statističkih metoda korelacije i višestruke regresije. Modeli višestruke regresije su korišćeni sa ciljem utvrđivanja prirode odnosa između pojedinačnih komponenti VAIC i identifikovanih merila performansi. Većina sličnih studija ukazuje na činjenicu da IK ima znača-jan uticaj na finansijske performanse. Međutim, u slučaju srpskih najvećih izvoznika značajan uticaj IK na finansijske performanse nije dokazan. .OMXĉQH UHĉL LQWHOHNWXDOQL NDSLWDO QHPDWHULMDOQD DNWLYD L]YR]QH SHUIRUPDQVH ÀQDQVLMVNH SHUIRUPDQVH IntroductionBusiness performance is measured by tangible outcomes, which are the result of different undertaken actions. In addition, business represents the sum of various resources, skills, and competencies, which are driven by activities specified within chosen strategy. Hence, resources are therefore a key factor in the process of strategy formulation and execution. The problem is, however, that employed resources, which are exploited during strategy execution, cannot create value independently. They create competitiveness and value only if they are supported by AbstractAlthough intellectual capital (IC) is the key issue in achieving and sustaining competitiveness in the long run, the literature is limited in offering empirical data on whether IC affects export performance of the firm. This paper explores the impact of IC, measured using the Value Added Intellectual Coefficient (VAIC), on financial performance, as well as on export performance of 300 Serbian top performing companies in terms of export. The research entailed the analysis of the impact of individual VAIC components on financial performance. Scientific hypotheses are developed according to similar studies on IC and financial performance. Performance measures used in this research are divided into two categories. The first group consists of export-related indicators, such as export volume, and export volume per employee. The second group is made up of traditional measures of corporate performance (return on equity, return on assets, profitability, and employee productivity). Data is analyzed using statistical methods of correlation and multiple regressions. Multiple-regression models are employed to determine the relationship between individual ...
