摘要：We discuss and explore the effects of internationalization, an entrepreneurial strategy employed by small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), on firm performance. Using concepts derived from the international business and entrepreneurship literatures, we develop Sour hypotheses that relate the extent of foreign direct investment (FDI) and exporting activity and the relative toe of alliances, to the corporate performance of internationalizing SMEs. Using a sample of 164 Japanese SMEs to test t...

We propose a framework that focuses on how entrepreneurial stories facilitate the crafting of a new venture identity that serves as a touchstone upon which legitimacy may be conferred by investors, competitors, and consumers,, opening up access to new capital and market opportunities. Stories help create comp...

The research setting is the biopharmaceutical industry, where I analyze 889 strategic alliances between 32 large pharmaceutical firms and providers of the new biotechnology. I find that incumbents that focus their network strategy on exploiting complementary assets outperform incumbents that focus on exploring t...

摘要：We present a model that explains how established firms create breakthrough inventions. We Identify three organizational pathologies that inhibit breakthrough inventions: the familiarity trap - favoring the familiar the maturity trap - favoring the mature; and the propinquity trap - favoring search for solutions near to existing solutions. We argue that by experimenting with novel (i.e., technologies in which the firm lacks prior experience), emerging (technologies that al e recent or newly dev...

摘要：We explore the theoretical foundations of value creation in e-business by examining how 59 American and European e-businesses that have recently become publicly traded corporations create value. We observe that in e-business new value can be created by the ways in which transactions are enabled. Grounded in the rich data obtained from case study analyses and in the received theory in entrepreneurship and strategic management, we develop a model of the sources of value creation. The model sugge...

摘要：Franchising provides an increasingly important vehicle for entrepreneurial wealth creation and accounts for a large and growing share of business in the retail and service sectors. Chains-which operate in dispersed markers-most frequently use this form of governance. These firms must balance the centralization and standardization required for efficiency with the adaptation needed for success in varied local markets. By adopting an organizational learning perspective, we argue that the min of c...

摘要：This study utilized universal and contingency approaches to empirically investigate the effects of entry barriers on new, venture performance. Consistent with prior research utilizing the universal approach, this study found only limited support for the direct independent effects of entry barriers on performance. Conversely, this study provides strong support for utilizing the contingency approach to examine the complex effects of entry barriers on divergent performance measures. Overall, cont...

摘要：This paper extends entrepreneurship into the domain of alliances, and investigates the effect of alliance proactiveness on market-based firm performance (defined in terms of sales growth, market share, market development and product development). Alliance proactiveness is defined as the extent to which an organization engages in identifying and responding to partnering opportunities. The effect of alliance proactiveness on performance is tested within a contingency framework, with size and per...
