“…Lu and Beamish (2001) have shown that international experience has a positive impact on firm performance at the corporate level. A number of researchers have recently begun to extend their investigations at the firm level to examine the impact of international experience in terms of either the scope of international experience (by counting the number of countries in which a firm operates) or the scale of international experience (by measuring the number of years of international operation) (e.g., Ogasavara & Hoshino, 2009). Surprisingly, few studies have disaggregated international experience according to differences in institutional environments.…”

“…That is, international experience allows foreign firms to better understand the complexity of the cognitive, normative, and regulatory domains in host markets (Ogasavara & Hoshino, 2009). In this vein, Carney, Gedajlovic, Heugens, Van Essen, and Van Oosterhout (2011) contended that parent groups' international experience allows for timely information exchange, leading to firms' pursuit of diverse business opportunities.…”

This study investigates different entry modes and staffing practices, and their influence on performance in Japanese subsidiaries in Australia and New Zealand. Data from 275 Japanese subsidiaries were derived from the Toyo Keizai data bank of Japanese overseas investments (Kaigai Shinshutsu Kigyou Souran) for the period from 2003 to 2008. The major assumption of this paper is that Japanese multinational corporations (MNCs) use their staffing policies as a means of exerting more influence on performance combined with other factors such as experience, industry, and the type of ownership. The study reveals that within the sample Japanese subsidiaries in Australia have a higher percentage of high performance companies than in New Zealand. The existence of Japanese employees, ownership and industry are shown as predictors of performance.

“…Such creation would be a way to achieve the high average performance of sequential establishments detected by Ogasavara and Hoshino (2009). Essentially, the firm may enjoy benefits from additional establishments as it is possible to achieve synergies by exploiting the common base of market experiences.…”

Purpose A multinational firm’s expansion in a foreign market is a key issue of international business. The purpose of this study is to extend the understanding of essential drivers that will facilitate firm’s assessment of alternative modes of sequential expansion. Design/methodology/approach The study applies the knowledge-based view and explores a multinational firm’s sequential post-entry expansion in a foreign market. Event histories of Swedish industrial firms’ establishments of wholly owned subsidiaries in Germany, the UK and the USA were explored using Cox regression. Findings Broad market experiences stemming from corporate strategy and deep experiences from the preceding subsidiary increase the likelihood of a sequential investment. Effects of broad experiences are contingent on the context specified by the geographic scope of the firm and its general subsidiary experience. Research limitations/implications The study contributes to international expansion theory and integrates sources of knowledge originating from strategy theory and internationalization theory. The study shows that the dual approach is needed to understand international expansion. Practical implications In evaluating a further subsidiary investment in a foreign market, the multinational firm is advised to assess whether it possesses enough market experiences to justify the investment. The experiences should be associated with corporate strategy, the previous wholly owned subsidiary and the context specifications identified in the study. Originality/value The study is unique, as it addresses the simultaneous impact of broad and deep market experiences. Also, the inclusion of central context specifications makes the study novel.
