“…This is important given that it shows that a higher doi (breadth and depth) affects the growth of the company. This is associated with the doi literature wherein it is stated that there is a benefit to a higher doi in the expansion of the company (Brida et al, 2016). Furthermore, it is possible to infer that a company is more international as its size increases.…”

“…Internationalization allows companies to reach other markets to generate new business activities and achieve extraordinary profits (Dalmoro-Costas et al, 2018). When a company expands its operations abroad, it obtains several benefits, such as scale economies and operational skills (Brida et al, 2016).…”

“…The depth of internationalization is the degree to which internationalization occurs outside the country, for example, the percentage of a company's annual budget that is considered for international activities. In this regard, depth is measured by financial indicators, including foreign versus total sales, foreign versus total assets, and employees in foreign locations (Abdi & Aulakh, 2018;Brida et al, 2016;Sullivan, 1994). Likewise, breadth refers to the dispersion of offices, branches, and factories located abroad (Velez-Calle et al, 2018).…”

The study of the “degree of internationalization” (DOI) is an important topic in the academic literature of international business. Therefore, the main objective of this work is to measure the DOI of the Chinese company, Huawei, from the perspective of the “depth” and “breadth” of the DOI. To achieve this objective, a qualitative content analysis technique was utilized to analyze Huawei Company’s annual reports over 14-year, from 2006 to 2019, to extract the frequency of words associated with the DOI to carry out the measurement. Huawei’s annual reports for this period were collected from the company’s institutional page. The primary results obtained indicate an increase in the DOI for Huawei in the two dimensions studied of depth and breadth. Also, these results indicate a trend similar to the number of employees and Huawei earnings in the period from 2006 to 2019.

“…Thirdly, Bourgeois (1981) also mentioned that the firms with abundant slacks have more capacity and incentives to conduct Research and Development (R&D) activities in addition to investing in the updated techniques and technology towards sustaining a competitive advantage. Finally, from the perspective of external changes, organizational slacks act as the facilitators to turn strategic plans into reality (Brida et al 2016;Yoon et al 2018).…”

This paper aims to investigate the three-stage theory of international expansion in the long run from the perspective of firm behavior. Although this topic has been mostly explored using data from developed countries, this paper aims to fill the research gap in an emerging market by using an extensive unbalanced panel data of 12,704 unlisted Vietnam manufacturing enterprises from the General Statistics Office during 2007 to 2012. The findings illustrated a significant S-shaped relationship between internationalization and performance. Notably, the results depict significantly moderating effects of both high-discretion slacks and low-discretion slacks on the internationalization–performance relationship across three stages of global expansion as an enterprise enhances this relationship in the first and third stage although this worsens it in the middle stage. The empirical results suggest that firms should determine the optimum level of internationalization and slacks in addition to balancing their costs with their real gains.

This study aims to investigate the relationships between two types of internationalization degree and innovation performance in the context of enterprises and the moderating role of environmental complexity in such relationships. The results show that internationalization depth is positively related to innovation performance and environmental complexity negatively moderates the relationship between internationalization depth and innovation performance. Moreover, internationalization breadth and innovation performance have a positive relationship, but environmental complexity does not have a significant effect on the relationship between internationalization breadth and innovation performance. This study highlights the positive role of internationalization degree in innovation performance and advances the understanding of environmental complexity by proposing that the effects of environmental complexity on such relationships are contingent on process of firms' internationalization.
