Abstract

Firm internationalisation, a key driver of global economic growth, is influenced by various entrepreneurial resources. This study explores the relationships between human capital, risk capital, risk acceptance, opportunity perception, and firm internationalisation using cross-national data from the Global Entrepreneurship Development Index (GEDI). Employing fuzzy set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA), this study analyzes data from 137 countries. The findings highlight two primary configurations driving internationalisation: (1) risk acceptance and opportunity perception, and (2) risk capital and opportunity perception. Opportunity perception emerges as a critical factor in both configurations, while human capital is not found to be a necessary condition. These results contribute to a better understanding of the factors that foster firm internationalisation and inform policies aimed at promoting global entrepreneurial ecosystems.

调查企业国际化的驱动因素:利用全球创业发展指数数据进行模糊集分析
企业国际化是全球经济增长的重要推动力,受到各种创业资源的影响。本研究利用全球创业发展指数(GEDI)的跨国数据,探讨了人力资本、风险资本、风险接受度、机会感知与企业国际化之间的关系。本研究采用模糊集定性比较分析法(fsQCA),分析了来自 137 个国家的数据。研究结果突出了推动国际化的两个主要配置:(1) 风险接受度和机会感知,以及 (2) 风险资本和机会感知。在这两种配置中,机会认知都是关键因素,而人力资本并不是必要条件。这些结果有助于更好地理解促进企业国际化的因素,并为旨在促进全球创业生态系统的政策提供参考。
