“…The speed of internationalization is paramount for understanding the healthy growth of firms in an everchanging international environment and explains a significant portion of a firm's performance (Caputo & Pellegrini, 2019;Chetty et al, 2014). This notion of speed covers two different aspects, namely earliness (the speed at which the firm commits resources to international markets for the first time after its inception) and speed of post-internationalization expansion (how fast the firm grows internationally, either by digging deeper into extant international markets or by widening its scope to new international markets, resulting in higher international sales) (Acedo & Jones, 2007;Casillas & Acedo, 2013).…”

“…Decision-making is central to the success, longevity and survival of entrepreneurial activities (Caputo and Pellegrini, 2019). It is a well-established topic of interest in several fields, particularly management, but there is still a paucity of studies on entrepreneurial decision-making (EDM) (Shepherd et al , 2015), although EDM is deeply influenced by the evolution and turbulence of the modern global landscape (e.g.…”

PurposeThis study explores entrepreneurial decision-making in the equity crowdfunding (ECF) context, and it aims to shed some light on the relationship among three aspects: entrepreneurial characteristics (i.e. entrepreneurial alertness and entrepreneurial self-efficacy), entrepreneurial motivations (i.e. promotion, improvement of networking and acquisition of product and market knowledge) and entrepreneurial behaviours (i.e. campaign characteristics in terms of communication and offerings).Design/methodology/approachThe hypotheses testing and analysis were conducted using the partial least squares approach to structural equation modelling, and data were collected from the overall population of Italian ECF platforms.FindingsOur results highlight that entrepreneurial characteristics may be central in ECF because of their significant impact on some motivation entrepreneurs have to adopt ECF, which in turn have an impact on meaningful campaign characteristics that can influence ECF performance.Originality/valueThe current literature is mainly focused on investors' decisions, while a neglected perspective until now has been that of entrepreneurs. This study is among the first to focus on entrepreneurs in the ECF context, and, to the best of our knowledge, it is the first study to investigate the entrepreneurial decision-making process. The added value of this research lies in the analysis of the entrepreneurial aspects underlying entrepreneurial decisions to use ECF.

“…Overall, these results add up to the body of literature that acknowledges how new realities in international trade have raised the level of uncertainty in the global arena, which raises the question that why some entrepreneurial ventures choose to internationalize earlier and how they achieve faster post-internationalization growth than their peers in similar contexts (DeGhetto et al , 2021; Zahoor and Al-Tabbaa, 2021; Zucchella, 2021). According to Chetty et al (2014), Caputo and Pellegrini (2019), Paul and Rosado-Serrano (2019), Kahiya and Warwood (2022), Xie (2023), to reach a good understanding of how companies grow in a changing international environment, one must pay attention to the pace at which the internationalization takes place, which can explain a great deal about why some companies perform better than others.…”

Purpose The varying nature of the competitive environment of small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), contributing significantly to gross domestic product in most countries, has made their moving toward internationalization and global competition unavoidable in such a way that the life cycle of research in this area is experiencing a period of rapid growth. This study aims to evaluate the status of research on SME internationalization based on bibliographic records retrieved from the Web of Science Core Collection and Scopus. Design/methodology/approach Using a scientometric analysis, reviewing the important points and the boundaries of research on SME internationalization as well as practicing co-occurrence and burst detection analysis. Findings Through a rigorous examination of the crucial points and boundaries within the realm of SMEs internationalization research, coupled with an analysis of co-occurrence and burst detection techniques to detect contemporary hotbed topics, this study has uncovered that the predominant focus of current discourse centers around the areas of networks and networking, as well as internationalization models and entry into the global arena. Moreover, it gives insight that future investigations will shift toward enhancing SME internationalization performance, while simultaneously prioritizing the expeditiousness of their entrance into international markets. The insights garnered from this inquiry are expected to facilitate salient contributions to future literature in this area, thereby advancing our understanding of these complex phenomena. Practical implications The trend of the research in this field can be useful for enthusiasts. In this context, the life cycle of research on SME internationalization has been drawn that shows the period of research growth of publications is almost between 2005 and 2023, and the saturation will be approximately from 2023 to 2035. The top researching SME internationalization in the world have been occurred in the USA, England, Canada, Sweden countries and in Department of Management, Department of Marketing, School of Management, Faculty of Management Studies institutions. Also, most of the research has been published in Journal of International Business Studies, International Business Review and Strategic Management Journal. Originality/value This study accordingly provided a valuable perspective for future research in this line.
