Abstract

Purpose This study aims to examine the degree to which a selection of home country factors affects the proclivity of firms to internationalise. The study also proposes and tests a conceptual model that fuses institutional and resource-based theories to improve our understanding of firm internationalisation. Design/methodology/approach The study uses cross-sectional, national-level secondary data from the 2018 Global Entrepreneurship Development Institute and World Economic Forum data sets on global entrepreneurship and competitiveness indices for 137 countries. The data is analysed using correlation and hierarchical regression analysis to test the hypotheses. Findings The results indicate that national income, institutions, trade openness and availability of risk capital positively influenced firm internationalisation, while home-country networking had an inverse effect. However, home country infrastructure had no statistically significant effect on firm internationalisation. Research limitations/implications The findings highlight the importance of considering home country attributes in understanding the internationalisation of firms. Originality/value This study contributes to the body of knowledge by providing empirical evidence of the role of local factors on the internationalisation of entrepreneurial ventures. It also tests a novel conceptual model that integrates institutional and resource-based theories to explain the nuances of the internationalisation of business ventures globally.

探索母国属性与企业国际化之间的联系:来自GEDI和WEF数据的证据
目的本研究旨在检验母国因素对企业国际化倾向的影响程度。本研究还提出并测试了一个概念模型,该模型融合了制度理论和基于资源的理论,以提高我们对企业国际化的理解。设计/方法/方法该研究使用了2018年全球创业发展研究所和世界经济论坛关于137个国家全球创业和竞争力指数的横断面国家级二级数据。使用相关和层次回归分析对数据进行分析,以检验假设。研究结果表明,国民收入、制度、贸易开放度和风险资本可用性对企业国际化有正向影响,而母国网络化则有反向影响。然而,母国基础设施对企业国际化没有统计学上的显著影响。研究局限性/含义研究结果强调了在理解企业国际化过程中考虑母国属性的重要性。独创性/价值本研究通过提供当地因素对创业企业国际化作用的经验证据,为知识体系做出贡献。它还测试了一个新颖的概念模型,该模型融合了制度和基于资源的理论,以解释全球商业企业国际化的细微差别。
