“…Entrepreneurship and its relationship with strategy is studied extensively within organizations and has been conceptualized as a fundamental posture, instrumentally important to strategic innovation, particularly under shifting external environmental conditions (Camisón, Villar-López 2010;Ireland, Webb 2007;Knight 1997). Research in the field of entrepreneurship tends to focus on small organizations as far as venturing is concerned or on large organizations when it comes to corporate entrepreneurship.…”

Abstract. Recent years have seen considerable work at the interface between business, management, entrepreneurship and strategy and as a result, new research domains have appeared including corporate entrepreneurship and entrepreneurial strategy. The purpose of this article is to understand the effect that corporate entrepreneurship strategy has on firms to revitalize, reconfigure resources and transform into firms that are ready to compete in the global economy. Empirical tests are conducted to determine to what extent elements of pro-entrepreneurship architecture are able to predict development capability, strategic repositioning, and growth based outcomes. A first-phase survey is conducted to verify the presence and strength of entrepreneurial orientation while the second phase of the study identifies elements of organizational architecture able to predict firm outcomes. The main contribution of this article is that firms resourcing and rewarding policies, as well as cultural and structural orientations, derived from a corporate entrepreneurship strategy, play a significant role in realizing desired outcomes. The study has important implications for emerging economies where growth is often the primary goal of organizations, and where corporate entrepreneurship can be critical for firm profitability and survival.

“…Empirical studies (Sullivan, 1994a;Rieck et al 2005;Loncan & Nique, 2010;Cheliah et al, 2010a) can prove the positive influence between the degree of internationalization and business performance. However, Camison and Lopez (2010) find that there is no relationship between the degree of internationalization on performance. So, the hypothesis made is: Degree of Internationalization influence on business performance (H3).…”

The proposed model of SMIs in conducting internationalization business is to investigate the entrepreneurial orientation and network capital in influencing international business and its impact on business performance in SMIs. This model also uses the size of SMIs as moderator variables that influence the degree of internationalization and business performance. This model can be implemented for research areas of internationalization of small medium enterprises especially for developing country like Indonesia.

“…Moreover, return migrant entrepreneurs may possess a relatively stronger degree of international orientation in that they may be more inclined to focus on international operations in their businesses. For instance, Camisón and Villar-López (2010) suggest that internationally exploitable intangible assets may strengthen international performance.…”

The effect of return migration driven social capital on SME internationalisation: a comparative case study of IT sector entrepreneurs in Central and Eastern Europe

Transition to a market-based economic structure in the post-Communist countries of the CEE (Central and Eastern Europe) region since the early 1990s has been accompanied by intense IT-driven technological change. Internationalisation opportunities have emerged for IT sector SMEs (Small and medium sized enterprises) based on the region's strong possession of technical skills. However, while enhanced SME internationalisation is desirable in policy terms, the current socio-economic transitional context of the region is not compatible with a highly competitive global business environment. While transition has facilitated outward migration, return migrants who acquire social capital abroad and establish businesses upon return home may positively influence entrepreneurship, organisational human capital and SME internationalisation in the CEE region.This chain of phenomena remains relatively unresearched in a CEE context, hence this article presents an initial attempt to address it. A process-oriented qualitative case study approach is used to compare the experience of three IT sector entrepreneurs in Hungary who previously worked and studied abroad. Primarily, the acquisition of social capital from abroad is crucial for re-configuration of organisational human capital at home in order to drive 'born-global' SME internationalisation. This study therefore provides a basis for further empirical investigation of the overall transformative effect of individual return migrant entrepreneurs upon organisational human capital reconfiguration and ensuing SME internationalisation. Additionally, policy suggestions are derived for development of international entrepreneur exchange programmes to enhance social capital development and human capital reconfiguration in local innovative SME sectors.
