“…Rialp et al (2005) further posit that the approach of INVs as opposed to incremental internationalizers in the international marketplace can be more strategy-driven in that the focus and pace of internationalization assists them in implementing a niche strategy. The two categories of firms are also dissimilar in terms of learning and networking capabilities (Zhang et al, 2009). Johanson and Martín-Martín (2015) empirically show that international commitment and level of internationalization may distinguish the internationalization process between these two groups of firms.…”

We employ the opportunity-based international entrepreneurial culture (IEC) comprehensive notion that draws upon the opportunity-based view (OBV). The OBV supports the idea that entrepreneurs mold the organizational behavior and characteristics of their firms to pursue opportunities abroad. We set out to explore possible attitudinal differences as regards exploitation of opportunities within firms in each of three internationalization dimensions that are previously identified in the literature, notably time to internationalization, country market presence and international mode. We perform eighteen case studies on high-performing internationalized small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in knowledge intensive sectors. The evidence refines the OBV as it manifests how three IEC characteristics (namely risk attitude, market orientation and networking propensity) matter for firms in the three internationalization dimensions. The study further adds to the international entrepreneurship literature that has until now myopically focused on international new ventures as if they were the sole opportunity-driven group of internationalized SMEs.

“…As for its role in early internationalisation, contrary to "international openness", the results have been mixed. Some authors claim that international experience is not indispensable to start export quickly (Evers & O'Gorman, 2011), while others confirm that international experience is on a higher level in born globals than in traditional exporters (Zhang, Tansuhaj, & McCullough, 2009) and thus it is interesting to analyse it in the new context of the CEE markets.…”

A B S T R A C T Objective:The study goal was the investigation of relationships between accelerated internationalisation descriptors and antecedent firm-and entrepreneur-related factors in Polish and Czech SMEs. Research Design & Methods:In order to compare Polish and Czech companies, the data collected in two independent studies were used. The study of 233 Polish companies was conducted with the use of CATI method in 2014; 108 Czech companies were surveyed in 2013/2014 with the use of CAWI method. In both samples half of the surveyed SME-exporters were conforming to the accelerated internationalisation criteria. Findings: In both samples the "global vision" elements and company internationalisation scale and speed were interrelated. In the Polish companies this relationship was moderated by company size. There was the lack of strong positive relationships between innovativeness and internationalisation speed and scale in both samples. Implications & Recommendations:The managerial mindset has a decisive role for accelerated internationalisation in both Czech and Polish SMEs. The innovativeness of offering is not indispensable for fast foreign expansion. Larger companies may expand abroad faster if they have internationally oriented managers.

“…Although scarce, the research on internationalization of new ventures from emerging economies is gradually taking form (see e.g., Dib, da Rocha and da Silva, 2010;Lopez, Kundu and Ciravegna, 2009;Naude and Rossouw, 2010;Thai and Chong, 2008;Turcan and Fraser, 2012;Zhang, Tansuhaj and McCullough, 2009;Zhou, Barnes and Lu, 2010;Zou and Ghauri, 2010). The findings thus far point, for example, to learning-capability and networking-capability as capability-upgrading constructs that differentiate international new ventures (INVs) in emerging economies from traditional internationalizing ventures.…”
