“…A firm that has exited from international operations previously may exhibit tendencies to re-enter internationalization depending on various internal or external factors transpiring during the period of its initial internationalization presence, during the de-internationalization or exit process, as well as during the time-out period from international operations. For example, departures in senior management or changes in firms’ strategic orientation can influence re-internationalization decisions (Janjuha-Jivraj et al, 2012). Also, external changes in environmental, political, competitive, or technical factors can influence a firm’s decision to re-internationalize (Freeman et al, 2013).…”

“…In the extant literature on international business, only a handful of studies looked at firms’ re-internationalization. Janjuha-Jivraj et al (2012) studied Phipps Brothers, a firm established in 1948 in the United Kingdom, and engaged in engineering and electrical supplies. The firm was initially a family-run enterprise, and after exiting initial internationalization, it even struggled in the domestic market.…”

“…It is in this backdrop, we aim to add to the nascent literature on the re-internationalization phenomenon, where no published research has tried to understand the drivers of firm performance during re-internationalization. Almost all of the limited scholarship (Dominguez and Mayrhofer, 2017; Freeman et al, 2013; Janjuha-Jivraj et al, 2012; Vissak and Francioni, 2013) engaged in re-internationalization research, to date, has adopted a qualitative case-based approach and studied a handful of firms to draw findings, all in a developed economy context. Although internationalization from emerging economies has attracted both scholars’ and managers’ attention (Hernandez and Guillén, 2018; Kumar et al, 2013; Luo and Zhang, 2016), re-internationalization has not been studied in the emerging economy context.…”

There is a paucity of research on re-internationalization, where firms re-enter international operations after complete withdrawal from previous international operations. The extant literature is largely silent on what drives firm performance during re-internationalization. We conducted an empirical investigation of re-internationalized enterprises from India to identify key antecedents to firm performance during the re-internationalization phase. Data analysis using partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) indicates that initial internationalization experiences, presence of dynamic capabilities, and organizational commitment to internationalization positively contribute to re-internationalization performance. The findings have implications for firm strategies, organization systems, managerial attention to knowledge management, policies supporting subventions, and for future research into de-internationalization and re-internationalization.

Purpose: The purpose of this article is the development of a methodology for analyzing the level of international entrepreneurship development and how to introduce and test this methodology in the non-financial enterprises in Poland.Design/Methodology/Approach: The proposed methodology consists of three stages. At the first stage, the indicators are analyzed, allowing revealing the level of participation of business structures in the national economy system. At the second stage, indicators characterizing the degree of investment activity and the efficiency of business structures functioning, as well as their activity in international markets, are examined. The third stage is devoted to the calculation of the final index of enterprises' participation in international entrepreneurship. The research methodology is based on the use of the following methods: a descriptive statistics method; the method of grouping statistical data; the method of correlation analysis, as well as the regression analysis method. Findings: The proposed methodology makes it possible to comprehensively assess the level of entrepreneurial structures development and the degree of their involvement in international business processes. Practical Implications: The authors' methodology can be the scientific rationale for the process of development of international entrepreneurship. Originality/Value: The methodology proposed the total index of participation of enterprises in international entrepreneurship as a comprehensive indicator of entrepreneurial activity in international markets, based on volumes and efficiency of export operations of business structures.

“…Some recent studies describe various aspects of re-internationalization, but none of these has addressed the query we tried to understand from this study. The case study of a UK-based firm talks about a firm that faced troubles even in the domestic market after exiting from initial internationalization [9]. It prompted this family-owned enterprise to professionalize managerial roles that were otherwise being held by family members alone, and this later helped the firm not only to overcome challenges in domestic market, but it also paved way for the firm to tap overseas opportunities and hence to successfully re-internationalize.…”

Re-Internationalization v/s Initial Internationalization: Comparison of Modes of Operations

Re-internationalization is defined as firms' re-entry into international operations after they have abandoned all their previous internationalization efforts. In this paper, we report findings from a survey administered among senior-level managers of re-internationalized Indian firms where we studied the differences in firms' choices in modes of operations during re-internationalization phase as compared to initial internationalization phase. The results from the survey indicated that firms tended to go for high involvement modes of operations during re-internationalization as compared to the relatively low involvement modes of operations undertaken during initial internationalization. This trend of going for higher involvement modes of operations was more visible in firms that had a presence in a relatively higher number of countries during the re-internationalization stage. This incremental nature of internationalization, i.e. going from initial low involvement modes of operations toward high involvement modes of operations as firms gained experience in both time and space from their initial through re-internationalization attempts, found support for the Uppsala model of internationalization. Being among the first studies on the topic, we expect this study to serve as a foundation for researchers to explore deeper related queries. This study also has meaningful practical and policy implications.
