“…We analyze the theoretical mechanism of the impact of environmental regulation on export technological sophistication. Many studies have confirmed that an enterprise's technological innovation, including green innovation, is a crucial factor in driving export technological sophistication [20][21][22][23]. Green innovation promotes the international competitiveness of enterprises through cleaner production technology and optimal allocation of green factors.…”

Based on combined data from the China Patent Database, China Industrial Enterprise Database, and China Customs Import and Export Database for the period 2004–2010, this study investigates the impact of heterogeneous environmental regulations on the export technological sophistication of manufacturing enterprises. Given deepening international market segmentation of production and the increasing proportion of intermediate trade, and compared with the traditional method based on exports, the export technological sophistication calculated here, based on value-added, is closer to the true level. Since there has been no in-depth comparative study on the relationship between heterogeneous environmental regulation and export technological sophistication, this study fills the gap. The results show that all three regulation types bear a U-shaped impact on export technological sophistication. Command-control regulation exhibits a restraining effect on mixed trade, eastern, and foreign-funded enterprises. Market-incentive regulation promotes processing and mixed trade enterprises as well as domestic and foreign-funded enterprises. Voluntary-participation regulation promotes all enterprises with different trade patterns and ownership. The mechanism analysis shows that command-control and market-participation environmental regulations affect export technological sophistication through the green invention and green utility innovation channels, while, additionally, market-incentive environmental regulation affects export technological sophistication through the green design innovation channel. Considering the environmental governance issues, the policy implications for enhancing the entire industrial chain and enterprises’ export competitiveness are clear. Due to the unclear functions and powers of competent departments and a rigid threshold, command-control regulation is not conducive to cleaner production technology and the promotion of enterprises’ export competitiveness; it should thus be discouraged. Although both market-incentive and voluntary-participation regulations have promoted cleaner production technology and enterprises’ competitiveness significantly, the environmental tax system requires continuous improvement. The government should continue to raise public involvement in environmental protection to enrich the channels and forms of environmental management.

“…Therefore, the current study contributes significantly by offering a comprehensive moderating framework of the institutional environment in relation to breakthrough innovations–export performance link. Second, the current study contributes to the existing body of knowledge, which contends that innovation practices help firms in enhancing export performance ( Azar and Ciabuschi, 2017 ; Silva et al, 2017 ; Tavassoli, 2018 ; Reçica et al, 2019 ; Edeh et al, 2020 ; Enjolras et al, 2020 ; Wu et al, 2021 ). Here, drawing on the dynamic capability theory, we demonstrate that breakthrough innovations in terms of tech- and market-based innovations are positively associated with the export performance of SMEs in a developing country.…”

“…The dynamic capability-based view has been employed previously to describe many organizational processes and outputs, including innovation capabilities ( Schoemaker et al, 2018 ; Ferreira et al, 2020 ), cognitive processes ( Easterby-Smith et al, 2009 ), and firms’ decision regarding internationalization ( Arikan et al, 2019 ). Considering these tenets of dynamic capabilities and the extant research about the influence of innovation on internationalization ( Lewandowska et al, 2016 ; Tavassoli, 2018 ; Reçica et al, 2019 ; Edeh et al, 2020 ; Enjolras et al, 2020 ; Wu et al, 2021 ), the current study conceptualizes breakthrough innovations as firms’ capabilities, enabling SMEs’ to enhance their export performance. Hence, we may assume that dynamic capability offers sound theoretical support to explain the influence of breakthrough innovation on international performance.…”

“…For instance, researchers have argued that formulating new technological strategies and adopting present ones are critical for firms’ productivity and the knowledge economy ( Wamboye et al, 2015 ; Wong, 2015 ; Schniederjans, 2017 ). Particularly, scholars are giving much intention to the influence of innovation on export performance ( Azar and Ciabuschi, 2017 ; Silva et al, 2017 ; Tavassoli, 2018 ; Wadho and Chaudhry, 2018 ; Reçica et al, 2019 ; Edeh et al, 2020 ; Enjolras et al, 2020 ; Wu et al, 2021 ). However, few have examined the link between breakthrough innovations and export performance (e.g., Silva et al, 2017 ).…”

The Impact of Breakthrough Innovations on the Export Performance of SMEs in Developing Countries: The Moderating Role of Institutional Factors

et al. 2022

Although few studies examine the implications of breakthrough innovations in the exporting context, we have little understanding about how contingent factors in the developing countries shape the breakthrough innovations–export performance link. Thus, this study aims at examining the impact of breakthrough innovations (i.e., technology-based innovations and market-based innovations) on the export performance of SMEs in developing countries, while studying the role of contingent factors, i.e., institutional environment specificity and enforceability. The data were collected from a sample of 410 SMEs in Pakistan. Hypotheses were tested through structural equation modeling in AMOS 20. The results reveal that both technology-based and market-based innovations have a positive impact on the export performance of SMEs in terms of strategic export performance and economic export performance. Second, institutional environment specificity and enforceability enhance the impact of breakthrough innovations on the export performance of SMEs.

“…Los servicios son soluciones que se pueden ofrecer tanto a las personas naturales como a las jurídicas, se han convertido en el motor central de la nueva economía basada en el conocimiento (Araya-Castillo y Mendoza, 2020; Castiblanco-Moreno et al, 2017;López-Rodríguez et al, 2020) y contribuyen a la globalización con diferentes agentes decisivos (Khan-Rehman et al 2017): estos servicios pueden poseer diferentes alternativas, dentro de las que se destacan los que están basados en personas (Kotler, 2000), servicios personales no calificados y servicios personales calificados (Cheong y Jung, 2021), los que satisfacen adoptando una necesidad personal o empresarial (Wu et al, 2021), y el servicio público y privado (Bah et al, 2021). Basados en los datos obtenidos en el análisis bibliométrico, desde 2000 se evidencia un crecimiento progresivo con leves fluctuaciones en la producción de literatura relacionada con la internacionalización de servicios.…”

El presente artículo tiene como objetivo identificar el panorama de los estudios relacionados con la internacionalización de servicios con base en un análisis bibliométrico y una revisión sistemática de la literatura. Para esto, se hizo un análisis bibliométrico a partir de la base de datos Scopus desarrollado con el software R Core Team 2020-Bibliometrix, y posteriormente se realizó una revisión sistemática cualitativa. Los resultados muestran que existe un interés creciente por la investigación en torno al estudio de la internacionalización de servicios, aunque no posee un alto nivel de producción científica. Los hallazgos identifican como temas más relevantes los asociados a la inversión extranjera directa, el sector servicios, marketing y negocios internacionales y la globalización, los negocios orientados a la prestación de servicios, la gestión de la información y el comercio global. Con el análisis bibliométrico se observa un impacto positivo en cuanto al acervo científico de los autores más representativos en el mundo, que generan conocimiento en torno a la internacionalización de servicios; seguido de esto, se resalta dentro de la revisión sistemática de la literatura, el valor agregado que generan los diversos tipos de servicios, la apropiación de marca para la internacionalización y las exportaciones e inversiones a nuevos mercados que generan estrategias de mercado emergentes en el escenario internacional.
