“…Previous research attempted to address how EO and GM concepts differ across different cultures (Covin and Miller 2014;Felício et al 2016). However, little is known to date about how these concepts differ within the contradictory entrepreneurial environments of fragile 1 and stable markets (Kiss et al 2012).…”

Previous research has emphasized the importance of entrepreneurial characteristics for international entrepreneurship, hence the application of concepts such as entrepreneurial orientation and global mindset to the study of entrepreneurial internationalization tendencies (EIT). However, literature does not adequately address how EIT differ between countries or manifest in fragile country settings. We address this gap through a quantitative study to investigate EIT in two national settings that largely differ in terms of development, institutional stability, and culture. Through the lens of the institutional theory and the mindset theory, we therefore piloted the study on 112 high-growth startups in Germany and Pakistan. Our findings show, that while entrepreneurs in Germany and Pakistan show comparable levels of innovativeness and proactiveness, they significantly differ in other EIT measures. German entrepreneurs appear to have higher levels of risk-taking, which when explained through the institutional theory lens can be attributed to the higher institutional stability and support as well as social security in Germany. This potentially makes engagement in risky activities, such as business internationalization, more appealing than in Pakistan. However, despite having lower international cognition and international knowledge compared to Germany, Pakistani entrepreneurs appear to exhibit higher degrees of international behavior.

This paper is focusing on SME internationalization and investigates the antecedents and the effects of organizational capabilities on strategy in the German MedTech industry. However, the impact of existing research in this field is relatively poor and is not yet applicable in other countries or industries. As a consequence, a systematic review of the literature has been conducted. The results have shown heterogeneous research results in the field of strategy and capabilities and the need for further research in this context. In a focus group discussion antecedents as well as the most important factors related to strategy were emphasized and further important aspects that focus on capabilities were revealed. Overall, the review indicates an initial conceptual model, in which significant findings could be identified. During the focus group discussion subject matter experts refined them in a country-, industry-or firm-specific way. The results will serve as a strategic input for SME's in the German MedTech industry.
