“…In many cases, SMEs may find themselves lacking the organisational and marketing capabilities required for innovation, new product development and market expansion. Consequently, SMEs actively engage with their external environment to secure essential resources Effectuation and alliancedriven diversification (Prim et al, 2023), not merely for survival but also to establish a competitive edge (John William et al, 2023). By actively participating in alliances, SMEs can facilitate the exchange of crucial information (Chen, 2019), establish technology transfers (Hilkenmeier et al, 2021) and effectively mitigate risks (Findikoglu et al, 2021).…”

Purpose Internationalisation is a complex and uncertain process for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), characterised by challenges such as limited resources, lack of international experience and uncertainty in foreign markets. This study aims to explore the impact of entrepreneurial effectuation on the diversification of products and market expansion. Additionally, it examines the mediating role of alliance capabilities in this relationship. Design/methodology/approach This study developed five hypotheses based on an extensive and relevant literature review. Data were collected using nonprobability judgemental and snowball sampling techniques from 202 software exporting firms in Bangladesh to measure the relationship. Data collected from the survey were then analysed using partial least squares-structural equation modelling. Findings The results of this study show that all five hypotheses developed in this study are supported. This study found a positive impact of entrepreneurial effectuation on product and market diversification. Study results also show that alliance capabilities mediate the relationship between entrepreneurial effectuation and product and market diversification. Research limitations/implications In the face of internationalisation uncertainties, SMEs use effectual decision-making logic and form strategic alliances to enhance their competitive positions. This research contributes to understanding how SMEs use effectuation in navigating international markets and expanding their product portfolios and market reach. Originality/value This study pioneers a mediation approach to explore the relationship between entrepreneurial effectuation, alliance capabilities and diversification in SME internationalisation. Examining the interplay of decision-making logic and collaborative ventures, this study offers insights into the complexities of SME internationalisation in uncertain environments.

PurposeThis paper explores how a firm that is established in an environment characterized by uncertainty can engage with weak regulative institutions by developing operational and institutional capabilities.Design/methodology/approachWe employ a multiple case study approach with seven leading multinational firms in Brazil in industries that vary in industry concentration.FindingsFirms choose among alternative strategies for engaging with regulative institutions as an ongoing process, based on their assessment of four characteristics of the uncertainty they face and their capabilities. Strategies that require a firm to exert greater effort to adapt to institutions or influence institutions have a greater potential to catalyze for developing operational capabilities. Although firms in industries with different concentrations behave similarly in individually adapting to regulative institutions, firms in decentralized industries are more likely to collaborate to influence institutions, which enables them to both access public agents through network partners and better negotiate their own interests.Practical implicationsThis research guides managers in developing institutional engagement strategies to reduce the potential consequences of institutional uncertainty in their supply chain. It also suggests types of institutional capability aligned with decentralized vs concentrated industries.Originality/valueWe extend the construct of institutional engagement strategies from the context of entrance to a new international market to an ongoing process in firms that are established in an environment characterized by weak regulative institutions. We also examine the role of industry concentration in the application of institutional engagement strategies.

The utilization of resources plays a crucial role in mitigating the environmental pollution issue that improper disposal of construction and demolition waste (CDW) causes. However, the slow growth of the recycled building materials market limits the development of CDW resource utilization. Green value co-creation among remanufacturers, construction enterprises, and the public in CDW resource utilization projects is an effective way to address the issue. This study, based on the theory of value co-creation, uses the evolutionary game method to construct an evolutionary game model for CDW resource utilization projects. The main conclusions are as follows: (1) When the degree of green value co-creation is 0.1 or 0.5, the remanufacturer, the construction enterprise, and the public cannot maintain a state of green value co-creation; when the degree of green value co-creation is 0.9, the remanufacturer, the construction enterprise, and the public in the CDW resource utilization project finally reach a stable state of green value co-creation. (2) When the degree of green value co-creation is 0.5, enhancing the green value co-creation willingness of the remanufacturer or the public can lead other CDW resource utilization project stakeholders to participate in green value co-creation. This study contributes to the promotion of stakeholder cooperation in CDW resource utilization projects, thus providing implications for the promotion of CDW resources.
