“…Hypothesis 3 focuses on the impact of the ownership structure of the LSPs on survival. At the 5% level of significance, the exit risk of foreign-owned LSPs is nearly half of domestic-owned, after controlling for other variables, which shows that foreign-owned LSPs have better survival prospects, which echoes with the findings of Hull, et al [46]. The possible explanation is that the foreign-owned LSPs located in the suburbs is lower than that of urban LSPs, especially for small-scale ones (1% significance level).…”

This paper worked on a sample of 6791 logistics establishments registered in Chengdu, China over the period 1984-2016 to understand the survival status of logistics service providers (LSPs) by non-parametric Kaplan-Meier estimation, together with Cox proportional hazard regression model, to identify factors affecting the failure of LSPs. In particular, it studies the interaction effect between LSPs' size and entry timing and location. The empirical results show that: 1) Regarding the survival time, 1365 of the 6791 sample LSPs exited from the market by 2017. The exit rate is 20.1%, and the average life of the 6791 LSPs is about 6 years. 2) The survival of LSPs depends on their typology, ownership structure. And there is no significant difference in the probability of survival for both independent LSPs and logistics branches after controlling the effects of other variables. 3) Location and entry timing also play an important role in the survival of small-scale LSPs, but these factors cannot explain large-scale LSPs' failure.

“…From the four above-mentioned studies, Kahiya [20] predicted which firms would become international new ventures, Lautanen [21] studied which firms would start exporting within four years, while Hull et al [19] found out which firms would wish to become born globals. Finally, Baum et al [18] tried forecasting whether a firm would become a born global, a born-again global, a traditional (slow) internationalizer, or a born regional (for an overview of the meanings of these terms, see Appendix I).…”

“…Several variables have been used for predicting future exporter types. The studies that focused on predicting early internationalization used international growth orientation, learning orientation, product differentiation, prior international experience and strength of network contacts [18], information diversity and being innovative [19], export barriers [20] and firm size, language skills, education, perceived risk, and previous export experience [21] as predictors. The studies that predicted other exporter type related characteristics used an even wider range of variables: for example, economic environment, export market size, firms' organizational policies, business abilities and skills, export strategy, product characteristics, productivity, and time spent on doing international business (see Table I).…”

How Does Managerial Experience Predict the Internationalization Type of a Young Firm?

2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This study aims to find out how useful managers' past general and export experience is in predicting whether young manufacturing firms become fast internationalizers. Extant literature about the role of managerial experience in determining young firms' internationalization type is scant. This paper fills this gap by providing systematic evidence on which kinds of general and export experience can be used for accurate predictions of two firm types: born globals and general fast internationalizers. Our dataset encompasses information about managerial experience of the whole population of young Estonian manufacturing firms. Based on using four different prediction methods (logistic regression, rough sets, decision tree, neural networks) and a large variety of variables reflecting managers' past experience, the results indicate that in prediction models, export experience variables are more valuable than general experience variables. Born globals can be predicted with an accuracy of at least 90% in case of all applied machine learning methods, while the precision is lower in case of general fast internationalizers. The study leads to important implications for international business theory and practice.

PurposeExternal knowledge is a key resource for the success and the survival of born global firms; however, existing models provide minimal evidence on how these firms should source this knowledge resource. Thus, the purpose of this research is to increase understanding on the impact of diverse knowledge search and knowledge formal protection in international new ventures (INVs).Design/methodology/approachThe study uses a quantitative methodology based on a sample of start-ups from the Spanish Community Innovation Survey data. Using ordinary least squares regressions on a 10-year period panel data, this research tests the moderator role of a heterogeneous base of international partners and formal knowledge appropriation strategy on the relationship between start-ups and their export performance.FindingsThe results show that compared to non-born global start-ups, born global firms benefit more from establishing relationships with a set of heterogeneous international partners. By contrast, all start-ups benefit from an extensive appropriation strategy if they establish such alliances with diverse international partners.Originality/valueThe study extends current theory on international entrepreneurship by providing a new theoretical framework for INVs of both the extensive use of formal mechanisms of knowledge protection and the access to heterogeneous and distant knowledge. This study has also several implications for knowledge management domain.
