“…The values of the square root of AVE (see Table 4) confirm the discriminant validity and ensure that these values are higher than the corresponding correlation coefficients in the correlation matrix (Fornell & Bookstein, 1982;Vlajčić, Caputo, Marzi, & Dabić, 2019).…”

Examining economic and technology‐related barriers of small‐ and medium‐sized enterprises internationalisation: An emerging economy context

et al. 2019

In today's global marketplace, small‐ and medium‐sized enterprises (SMEs) are increasingly looking at internationalisation strategies to boost growth, profitability, and competitiveness. However, challenges, such as, sociocultural differences, political institutions, limited resources, competitive challenges, market threats, and economic and technological barriers all hinder SMEs from entering and competing favourably in the international markets. Considering the important link between lack of resources and internationalisation of SMEs, this study examined economic and technology‐related barriers of SMEs internationalisation from a neglected yet emerging market context in Bangladesh. To compare the relative importance of these two particular categories of barriers, this study developed and validated a partial least square‐based structural equation model (PLS‐SEM) with primary data gathered from questionnaires from 212 Bangladeshi SMEs. The findings of the paper suggest that technology‐related barriers seem slightly more influential than economic barriers. As the difference is very low, importance should be given to both types of barriers as found. Conceptually, this study extends this area of research by reframing economic and technology‐related barriers of internationalisation as a hierarchical reflective model within an emerging economy context. Empirically, it confirms that PLS‐SEM can be used to compare the relative importance of these two types of barriers. Practically, policy makers can give slightly more priorities on the technology‐related barriers where it is not possible to give equal importance to both because of limited resource and research neglect on developing economies.

“…Among others, assigning expatriates is one of the strategies that companies apply to resolve the scarceness of employees with high innovative behaviour from the local labour market (Dabic, González‐Loureiro, & Harvey, ; Wong, Tjosvold, & Liu, ). Expatriates provide companies with a broader opportunity to pull global innovative talent and inject a fresh outlook on existing problems (Dabic et al, ; Rose, Ramalu, Uli, & Kumar, ; Varma, Pichler, Budhwar, & Kupferer, ; Vlajčić, Caputo, Marzi, & Dabić, ). Nevertheless, the specific features of expatriate employees' innovative behaviour have rarely been examined (Dabic et al, ; Hammond et al, ).…”

Multinational companies assign expatriates to bridge the scarcity of employees with innovative behaviour from the local labour market. Despite expatriates' significant role in inducing innovative ideas for multinational companies, the existing literature has scarcely examined those antecedent factors that affect their innovative behaviour. Even though previous studies indicated the determinant impact of host countries' culture on the expatriates' work-related behaviour, little is known about how far it affects their innovative behaviour. Therefore, drawing on the personenvironment fit theory, this study examines the impact of personal value orientation and the host country's culture alignment on expatriates' innovative behaviour. The study covers 149 expatriates, from nine countries, who work in the high-tech industrial zone of Shenzhen, South China's industrial hub. Moreover, it applies a structural equation model using Amos TM 23 to conduct the analysis. The results reveal that personal value orientation fit with the host country's national culture has a significant impact on expatriates' innovative behaviour. Cross-cultural adjustment level is found to mediate this relationship. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed, and suggestions for future research are drawn from the study's limitations.
