“…The literature on the subject offers two approaches: internationalization as an effect of innovation and innovation as an effect of internationalization. It is a common point of view, confirmed in large number of empirical studies that innovation positively impact internationalization (Almodóvar et al 2021;Bigos & Michalik 2020;Wach 2016;Veglio & Zuchella 2015;Cassiman & Golovko 2011) and our empirical results are in line with the previous investigations. Nevertheless, we focused only on selected aspects of R&D activities, not on innovation en bloc.…”

“…The increase of the revenue, in turn, can enhance internal investments in R&D (Tvaronaviciene & Burinskas, 2021). Recently, P. Almodóvar et al (2021) empirically proved for Spain that information stimulates export, import and the international cooperation. Innovation is the key value creation and export performance for both large multinational enterprises (MNEs) (Cano-Kollmann at al.…”

“…Moreover, small high technology firms were driven to internationalize early due to the accelerated pace of worldwide technological innovation. The role of innovation is well identified for the exporting and internationalization across various industries (Almodóvar et al 2021;Bigos & Michalik 2020, Bigos & Wach, 2021 and recently also in the high-tech industry . Johnson (2004) also conducted a qualitative and quantitative research of US and UK small international start-ups in high-tech industries.…”

This article focuses on the significance of research and development (R&D) in driving the internationalization of Polish high-tech firms. R&D is essential for businesses to remain competitive and adapt their products to the specific requirements of different markets. The study aims to investigate the relationship between R&D and the internationalization process of high-tech firms based in Poland, with a focus on the innovation context. We used a quantitative research method and employed a survey questionnaire to evaluate the internationalization of high-tech firms in Poland. The study employed a computer-assisted telephone interviewing (CATI) method and identified the random sample of 263 fully-filled questionnaires during the survey that were important for further statistical analysis. We confirmed that research and development as it is commonly understood, i.e., having one's own R&D department and making expenditures on R&D, helps and strengthens the internationalization of high-tech firms.

“…Furthermore, literature on international business analyses how different firm-specific advantages impact on firm's internationalisation (Rugman, 1981;Buckley and Casson, 1976), and some recent research analyses the reverse effect of how different outputs of internationalisation has a positive impact on enhancing internationalisation itself. For example, how different international "contacts" impact positively a firm's innovation (Almod ovar et al, 2014(Almod ovar et al, , 2021Salomon and Shaver, 2005;Jin et al, 2019). Therefore, an interesting new approach would be to investigate the effect of strategic agility on the EJMBE 31,2 internationalisation process of firms, as well as its reverse effect, and to determine whether more internationalised firms require and encourage more agile decision-making.…”

PurposeStrategic agility is a fuzzy concept that has become crucial to cope with environmental uncertainty and instability; hence, more in-depth studies are highly needed. The aim of this paper is to shed light on the still diffuse research area of strategic agility by clarifying its scope and concept, as well as identifying the different topics that have been examined thus far. Finally, the intent of this paper is to show the existing gaps in the literature to provide scholars with a clear roadmap for future research.Design/methodology/approachBibliometric and content analyses are used in this study to review the most impactful papers in strategic agility between 1996 and 2021. Citation and mapping analyses are conducted through SciMAT software, and a dynamic approach is adopted by assessing and discussing the evolution of strategic agility throughout five different periods.FindingsThis study reveals that strategic agility is a research line that has neither gained consensus nor reached maturity and that it is linked to several thematic areas or topics. The study offers a complete understanding of the state of the art of strategic agility over time and underscores its main future research lines.Originality/valueThis study presents a complete map of the strategic agility research thus far by using novel bibliometric techniques. This approach is especially interesting because it allows for identifying the dynamic relationships among themes within the topic over five different periods.

“…The internationalization of a firm is also related to an increase in its global performance, especially in the context of SMEs, often as a result of digitalization (Bhandari et al 2023;Wen et al 2023). The firm age condition has been studied extensively in the literature in different contexts because it refers to the experience accumulated by the firm, but it can also be an indicator of an outdated and out-of-date firm in the context of DT (Almodóvar et al 2021;Diego et al 2023). Considering this, we establish the different propositions for the configurational analysis of this study.…”

Digital transformation (DT) and Big Data Analytics Capabilities (BDAC) enable SMEs to adapt to rapidly changing markets, innovate, and maintain relevance in the digital age. This research explores the impact of DT on SME performance through the lens of BDAC and innovation, from a multi-methods approach and applying the dynamic capabilities view. It asserts that simply investing in DT doesn't ensure enhanced performance. Analyzing 183 Spanish SMEs from various sectors, the study highlights the need for creating specific conditions that enable DT to positively impact performance. The integration of PLS-SEM and fsQCA methodologies provides a comprehensive analysis of BDAC as pivotal in optimizing SME performance through DT, emphasizing the necessity of strategic alignment with innovation. This nuanced approach, combining the predictive power of PLS-SEM and the configurational insights of fsQCA, demonstrates that investment in DT alone is insufficient without fostering conditions conducive to innovation. Our empirical insights offer actionable guidance for managers utilizing BDA or contemplating technological investments to elevate firm performance which go in the direction of increasing their innovation capabilities. Additionally, these findings equip policymakers with a nuanced understanding, enabling the design of tailored measures promoting DT in SMEs anchored in the nuances of BDAC and innovation capabilities.
