“…Thus, market sensing belongs to the higher-order dynamic capabilities of firms that should accompany flexibility in new product development, understood as the propensity to both explore the new knowledge and make adaptations in the old, functioning concepts (Salojärvi et al, 2015). A study of Spanish firms (Monferrer et al, 2021) supported the hypothesis that firms which can absorb the outside knowledge are also superior in introducing innovations. A similar relationship was found by (Cabeza-Pullés et al, 2020) who showed that knowledge absorption impacted innovation ambidexterity.…”

“…In the words of Boso et al, (2013, p. 62), 'from a resource-based perspective, innovativeness is valuable and idiosyncratic to firms, an intangible asset that may provide businesses with a competitive advantage by being too costly for rival firms to replicate.' Innovation capability is based on knowledge and enables firms to respond to the market by exploiting knowledge in the form of different innovation outputs associated with developing new products or variants of existing ones (Monferrer et al, 2021). To conduct, coordinate, and balance the conflicting modes of exploitative and exploratory innovation and learning, firms need an organizational capability of ambidexterity (Cantarello et al, 2012;Nosella et al, 2012).…”

The study aimed to identify the marketing determinants of SMEs' innovation ambidexterity and explore this phenomenon in the firms from a post-transition Polish market. Specifically, market-sensing capability, entrepreneurial marketing orientation, and marketing strategies were considered the possible determinants of innovation ambidexterity. The comparative character of the study enabled examining if these relationships have changed comparing 2019 to the time of pandemic crisis in 2021. Research Design & Methods:The study includes a sample of 240 Polish manufacturing SMEs contacted with the CATI/CAWI method in May 2019 and 219 firms selected and surveyed according to the same method between January-February 2021. The results were obtained with factor analysis and logistic regression. Findings: Innovation ambidexterity was related to market sensing, opportunity focus, proactive orientation, and adaptation strategy applied by manufacturing SMEs in the B2B markets. However, during the pandemic crisis, the different determinants replaced those identified during the less turbulent time.Implications & Recommendations: Entrepreneurial marketing accompanies innovation ambidexterity. Including employees in the sensing process and concentrating on market opportunities are especially stimulating for exploratory and exploitative innovations. The significant influence of firm size and high-tech industry on ambidexterity points to the role of SMEs' strategic agility in a turbulent environment. Contribution & Value Added:The study explored in detail the marketing determinants of an important SME capability: innovation ambidexterity. Comparing data from the span of two years enabled taking into account the pandemic crisis. In addition, the study verified the measurement tool for analyzing SME ambidexterity.

“…All the quantitative studies have utilized structural equation modelling (SEM) over regression analysis as the data analysis method. Park and Rhee (2012) and Monferrer et al (2021) have given the justification to use SEM over regression analysis as it facilitates simultaneously examining a series of interrelated dependence relationships among variables. Five of the remaining articles have failed to provide justification for choosing their respective analysis method.…”

The dynamic capability (DC) perspective is one of the key theories discussed related to the phenomena of early internationalization. However, there is no considerable effort has been made to review and integrate the associate literature of this perspective in the field. This review aims to examine methodological and dimensional choices in 22 empirical studies on DC in early internationalization including international new ventures (INVs) and born-globals (BGs). In carrying out this review, a search was conducted accessing the Google Scholar search engine, encompassing journals that have published research between 1970 and 2022 on INVs/BGs and DCs. The findings revealed that amid heightened research interest in the DC perspective in studies of INVs/BGs there is a methodological imbalance as quantitative research is underdeveloped while the majority of key studies are qualitative. Further, the dimensions are vaguely discussed, and tested and more bias has been given to a few capabilities like networking and learning capabilities. Concerning about the contribution, this review debates the role of DC in INVs/BGs by revealing the areas for immediate attention in methodology and dimensional choices. The implications are relevant for DC researchers, journal reviewers and editors as well as readers of scholarly DC articles on how to conceptualize DCs. This review is a novel contribution towards the understanding of the methods used in DC research and encompasses a slightly broader scope of time compared to the earlier reviews. Building upon, yet moving beyond reviews to date, and broadening to the latest publications, this paper advances the understanding of the state of dynamic capabilities in early internationalization.

“…Gerschewski and Xiao (2015) found that, in contrast to new non-international ventures, financial performance is more important than non-financial indicators for new international ventures, while such ventures in the manufacturing industry tend to attach more importance to financial performance than do ventures in other industry sectors. Return on assets (ROA), profit margin, sales growth rate, debt ratio, equity ratio, asset turnover, inventory turnover, and Tobin's q have been used as the main evaluation indicators for financial performance (Zhang et al, 2009;Knight & Cavusgil, 2004;Zhou et al, 2007;Yang et al, 2017;Kim et al, 2020, Monferrer, Moliner, Irún, & Estrada, 2021Herath, 2021). Following the literature, this study uses five groups of ratios as variables to test the financial and stock market performance of listed manufacturing companies in China.…”

This study examines the financial performance and characteristics of born global firms (BGs) in China. While the literature on BGs is growing, few systematic studies have investigated their financial performance, especially for BGs from developing economies like China. This study compares the financial ratios and rates of BGs with those of gradual internationalization firms (GIs) using analysis of variance and data on 1,069 listed companies in China’s manufacturing industry. The results show that BGs are inferior to GIs in profitability, debt paying ability, growth potential, and asset quality but are similar to GIs in terms of asset management capabilities. Born global firms’ ROA, operating profit margin ratio, gross profit margin ratio, current ratio, quick ratio, P/BV, Tobin’s q, and growth ratios are lower than those of GIs; their debt ratio is higher than that of GIs, but their operating activity ratios are not statistically significantly different. The study also finds that ownership and size differences exert significantly impacts on the financial performance of BGs.
