“…Specifically, acquisition, assimilation, and improvement of foreign technologies imported from the U.S., Japan, and Germany was critical for Korean SMEs in the past. Many studies in the management literature have acknowledged Korean firms' unique emphasis on and style of organizational learning (e.g., Kim, 1998;Bae and Lawler, 2000;Mathews and Cho, 1999).…”

“…Research suggests that the development and growth of emerging economy firms is dependent upon combining their own firm specific knowledge with that of external sources to augment home knowledge base or acquire competences through international expansion (Kuemmerle, 1999;Mathews and Cho, 1999;Meyer and Thaijongrak, 2013). However, emerging economy 8 firms differ from firms in developed economies, which generally leverage and exploit ownership-specific advantages in foreign countries (Dunning, 1998;Lecraw, 1983;Cardoza and Fornes, 2011).…”

FOREIGN MARKET KNOWLEDGE, COUNTRY SALES BREADTH AND INNOVATIVE PERFORMANCE OF EMERGING ECONOMY FIRMS ABSTRACTWe examine the impact of foreign market knowledge on innovative performance in emerging economy firms. We also study how this relationship is moderated by country sales breadth, i.e., the diversity of countries in which the firm derives sales. We test two competing theoretical perspectives on this relationship: diversity logic suggesting country sales breadth is beneficial to innovative performance, and time compression diseconomies logic suggesting the opposite. Drawing from a sample of 92 Chinese firms, we show that foreign market knowledge has a positive impact on innovative performance, and that this relationship is positively moderated by country sales breadth. Our study suggests that managers in Chinese firms develop effective capabilities in accessing, integrating and utilizing foreign market knowledge from a breadth of international sources in their quest for innovation.

Abstract. The paper will help answer the question, why only few universities managed to succeed significantly in their global ranking advancement, while most of their competitors fail. For this purpose it will introduce a new strategically entrepreneurial catch-up university framework, based on the combination of the resource based view, dynamic capabilities, strategic entrepreneurship and latecomer organization concepts. The new framework logics explains the advantages of being ambidextrous for ranking oriented universities and pursuing new potentially more favorable opportunities for research development. It will propose that substantial increase in the level of dynamic capabilities of the universities and their resource base accumulation is based on the use of the new combination of financial, human and social capital combined with strategic management of these resources in the process of identification and exploitation of greater opportunities.
