“…The mechanism responsible for the ability of the IGF to optimally enter the reconfiguration stage is the speed of internationalization. Batsakis and Theoharakis (2021) observed that concurrent internationalization breadth and depth at high speed can result in high performance in large multinational organizations. However, multinational organizations already have MBR 32,3 experience abroad, and the same study suggests that CEOs with international experience and training are more likely to accept paradoxical tensions.…”

Purpose This paper aims to explore the relationship between strategic internationalization decisions and dynamic capabilities deployment for the internationally growing firm (IGF). Dynamic capabilities refer to a firm’s ability to adapt proactively to a changing business environment, emphasizing the importance of “doing the right things” rather than just “doing things right. Design/methodology/approach Literature-based, this paper proposes a model that links internationalization decisions and dynamic capabilities deployment, offering valuable insights for both research and practical application. Findings The study highlights that the IGF – focused on expansion and growth abroad – faces unique complexities that demand “doing the right things” in terms of strategic internationalization decisions. Three critical organizational capabilities – knowledge transfer, knowledge recombination and learning capabilities – are mechanisms linking strategic internationalization decisions to dynamic capability deployment in the IGF. These organizational capabilities enable the IGF to act entrepreneurially and deploy dynamic capabilities across borders. Research limitations/implications The model provides a practical framework illustrating the interconnectedness of strategic internationalization decisions and their combined effects on the ability of IGF to deploy dynamic capabilities to adapt to a changing global environment. Originality/value This research addresses a gap in the literature, challenging the conventional assumption that dynamic capabilities precede firms’ decisions to internationalize and that these dynamic capabilities can only be enhanced abroad.

“…From the point of view of competitiveness, it is important for an entrepreneur that customs control standards correspond to modern business conditions in international trade in goods. Therefore, it is important that control activities are carried out in a clear, stable, transparent and Consistent rules in all countries Control times should be kept to a minimum There should be no downtime or interruption in the flow of goods Easy access to information and no additional costs At the same time entrepreneurs acting in accordance with the law expect effective sanctions from the customs authorities in relation to persons who knowingly ignore the rules or use control tools in order to achieve a quick profit or competitive advantage (European Parliament, 2019;Cha et al, 2023;Batsakis, Theoharakis, 2021). In order to increase the competitiveness of enterprises, states must create a favorable environment for economic operators, so customs control should be the lowest possible burden and, of course, should not hinder business by creating additional costs in trade.…”

The relevance of this article is due to the high importance of customs control procedures for the development and expansion of international trade, as well as the need to improve the efficiency of customs authorities through the use of digital technologies. The purpose of the article is to substantiate the need for the development and implementation of the digital tool "Customer Declarant Map" based on artificial intelligence in the processes of customs control in order to increase its efficiency. Methods of a systematic approach were used as research methods, a comparative method to clarify the elements of using artificial intelligence to improve the efficiency of customs control, a qualitative content analysis method to justify the importance of forming a "Customer Declarant Map" was implemented using a descriptive analysis, a review of literary sources and acts international law. Achieving this goal required the solution of certain tasks. Based on the results of the analysis of theoretical approaches to the essence of customs control, its significance for the competitiveness of business was clarified due to the increase in volumes and facilitation of international trade, since customs services act as an external factor in competitiveness and the characteristics of individual decisions within the framework of customs control intended for entrepreneurs, which can be considered positive in terms of enterprise competitiveness. The further active introduction of digital technologies, in particular, artificial intelligence in the activities of customs authorities for the processing and analysis of various information from numerous data sources, is justified. The formation of a "Customer Declarant Map" - a map of the path of the customs declarant, is proposed, the advantages of artificial intelligence in this process are highlighted. It has been substantiated that the introduction into practice of a new digital path map tool for the customs declarant "Customer Declarant Map" will improve the efficiency of customs control, facilitate international trade, and reduce customs risks.

“…Fourth, digital platform-based transactions are quite different from the others. Key attributions of e-commerce firms' growth are their fast internationalization speed and the extensive breadth of operations across different areas (Batsakis & Theoharakis, 2021;Swoboda & Sinning, 2022). Especially, sharing economy firms set the protocols and algorithms with the formal programming language for specific digital platforms (e.g., Airbnb apps, Uber apps, etc.)…”

As the sharing economy has grown rapidly and replaced the traditional businesses, new rules and norms for data and digital trade have emerged divergently in many countries. Such divergence in global e-commerce policies may be a major barrier to the internationalization of the sharing economy business. This paper aims to develop an internationalization theory that addresses how the sharing economy firms can internationalize under the condition of the divergence of global e-commerce policies. Drawing on Hayek’s knowledge economy approach, we build a new internationalization theory for the sharing economy firms that facilitate autonomously self-organized business ecosystems and adapt to the lack of harmonized rules and norms for the sharing economy. We first theorize on the attributes of the digital platform-based transactions for the internationalization of the sharing economy firms and then provide some insights into the current international debates of e-commerce policies. Our theory offers two main insights: (1) the competitive advantages of the sharing economy firms stem mainly from digital platform algorithms to catalyze digital platform-based transactions between autonomous actors; (2) the divergence of global e-commerce policies and different internet regimes in different countries may affect the internationalization of business models based on such digital platform-based transactions.
