Abstract
Mixed and inconsistent research results linking International Entrepreneurial Orientation (IEO) to international performance have led to controversies about the value of IEO as a determinant of international performance. Our research proposes a new model that considers international dynamic capabilities (IDCs) as a mediator between IEO and international performance. Cultural and institutional distance are considered as boundary conditions. Using multi-country, multi-informant, and multi-source data collected from 303 SMEs in China and Tunisia, we find that IDCs mediate the effect of SMEs' IEO on international performance, but the impacts of three IEO dimensions on IDCs vary under different institutional and cultural contexts.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of World Business holds a distinguished position as a leading publication within the realm of International Business. Rooted in a legacy dating back to 1965, when it was established as the Columbia Journal of World Business, JWB is committed to disseminating cutting-edge research that reflects significant advancements in the field. The journal actively seeks submissions that propel new theoretical frameworks and innovative perspectives on International Business phenomena. Aligned with its domain statement, submissions are expected to possess a clear multinational, cross-border, or international comparative focus, while remaining pertinent to the study of management and organizations. JWB particularly encourages submissions that challenge established theories or assumptions, presenting pioneering or counterintuitive findings. With an inclusive approach, the journal welcomes contributions from diverse conceptual and theoretical traditions, encompassing allied social sciences and behavioral sciences. Submissions should either develop new theories or rigorously test existing ones, employing a variety of qualitative, quantitative, or other methodological approaches. While JWB primarily caters to scholars and researchers, it values contributions that explore implications for Multinational Enterprises and their management, as well as ramifications for public policy and the broader societal role of business.
