Emerging economies should encourage collaborations between international companies and local firms to facilitate KT (Rammal et al , 2013). Surprisingly, our studies found no evidence of a moderating influence of returnee ED, KT or BD.…”

“…Developed countries have regulated the legal infrastructure and mechanisms, as well as allocated adequate resources, to support “the creation and diffusion of advanced knowledge” (Lin et al , 2016, p.299), whereas developing countries frequently lack the well-established regulatory structures and infrastructural requirements to motivate entrepreneurial opportunities through international KT. If institutions want to assist domestic firms in keeping up with the global competition, then they can stimulate cross-border knowledge sourcing (Rammal et al , 2013). The performance of organisations is determined by how well managers appreciate the significance of knowledge creation and transfer, both locally and internationally (Ferreira et al , 2023).…”

Purpose The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of returnee entrepreneurs’ education and knowledge transfer (KT) on business development (BD) as well as the moderating effect of time living abroad on returnee entrepreneurs. Design/methodology/approach The quantitative approach was used in this study to grasp and validate the conceptual framework. This research was guided by a positivist survey research technique. A structured questionnaire was used as a data collection tool, and 151 returnee entrepreneurs were involved in the study. SEM with SmartPLS was used as a data analysis tool. Findings The results of this study show that returnee entrepreneur’s education and KT is positively associated with BD, while the time living abroad was not proved to have a moderation effect on BD. Practical implications This study has academic and practical relevance, as it adds new knowledge and a better understanding of the role of returnee entrepreneurs in BD and expands research on returnee entrepreneurs. In terms of practical contributions, this research offers suggestions to governments, policymakers and the business community about the impact of returnee entrepreneurs in the entrepreneurial ecosystems of their home countries. Originality/value This study is one of the few studies that have analysed the impact of returnee entrepreneurs’ education and KT on BD by using the survey technique. The results of this empirical research are based on primary data collected via a questionnaire.

This paper addresses the research gap in understanding the role of intra-firm reverse technology transfers for building output versus innovation capabilities. While we understand that some firms use external sources to create new technology before they are able to build internal innovation capability, the role of bridging lack of innovation capability through internal reverse technology transfers has not been explored in this context. We analyze the technology transfer strategy in the case of Huawei Technologies through a mixed methods design combining quantitative survival analysis of patents and qualitative interviews to understand and contextualize its mechanisms. The results show that the company strategically transferred ideas for new and complex technologies from centers of state-of-the-art technology towards its domestic Chinese locations. Tapping into offshore innovation capability is done by hiring experienced personnel that transfers innovative ideas to China instead of developing new products abroad. We find that this systematic transfer of complex ideas enabled Huawei to build output capability by bridging its lack of domestic innovation capability. This might be a way for growing firms to become competitive on the world market before having to build innovation capability at home first.
