“…The results of Fisher's Permutation test for the differences between LEs and SMEs indicate that the impact is stronger for SMEs. The findings are reasonable because SMEs are less likely to receive loans from banks and financial support from the government, implying that they are more sensitive to policy changes than large firms (Li et al, 2015;Xue et al, 2019). Therefore, these findings support H2.2.…”

“…In terms of ownership structure, stateowned enterprises (SOEs) are expected to take more social responsibilities and make great contributions to China's economic growth (Jin et al, 2019). Their state-owned nature manifests in sound credit and operation environment (Li et al, 2015), and hence demonstrates different attitudes towards economic policy changes compared to non-state-owned enterprises (non-SOEs).…”

Using China as the research setting, this paper investigates the relationship between economic policy uncertainty and corporate precautionary cash holdings. Empirical results show a U‐shaped relation between economic policy uncertainty and corporate precautionary cash holdings. Empirical analysis, in terms of ownership structure, firm size, corporate competitiveness and geographical location, further shows that (i) the effects for economic policy uncertainty in both state‐owned and non‐state‐owned enterprises are significant, but the effect is stronger for state‐owned enterprises; (ii) such significant effect is also found more strongly in small and medium‐sized enterprises and highly competitive enterprises; and (iii) the effects for eastern, central and western China are all statistically significant, but the effect is strongest for eastern China.

“…In the past decades, studies on BGs have traced their rapid internationalization to either individual‐level or company‐level antecedents (Jones, Coviello, and Tang, ; Li, Qian, and Qian, ). Individual‐level antecedents are associated with entrepreneurs' psychological qualities, and company‐level antecedents are related to organizational capabilities.…”

In recent years many small, young firms have started internationalizing early and have become ‘born globals’ (BGs). This study traces the phenomenon to five individual‐level and company‐level antecedents, including propensity to act, risk tolerance, company‐level organization of knowledge, ability to forge company‐level consensus, and company‐level responsiveness to new environments. Individual‐level antecedents are entrepreneurs' psychological qualities and company‐level antecedents are organizational behaviors. While these antecedents may or may not individually contribute to the rapid internationalization of small BGs, their interaction significantly speeds up the process. Evidence collected in this study demonstrates that the interaction among these antecedents is a complex mechanism. The interaction can be moderation, mediation, and even mediated moderation. The complex interaction of these antecedents explains the fast internationalization of BGs. The evidence sheds light on the relationships between entrepreneurs' psychological qualities and organizational behaviors.

“…Also Li, Qian and Qian (2012) confirmed that technological intensity is positively correlated with the early internationalization (born globals). Li, Qian and Qian (2015) proved that radical innovations are positively correlated with internationalization, as small young technology-based entrepreneurial firms (SYTEFs) that "generate radical innovation are more likely to internalize their foreign operations". Chetty and Stangl (2010) confirmed that internationalized businesses with limited network relationships have incremental internationalization and innovation, but those with diverse network relationships exhibit radical internationalization and innovation.…”

The aim of the article is to identify and verify the relationship between internationalization and innovativeness as well as innovative behaviour of high-tech businesses in Polish context. Research Design & Methods: A quantitative research design was employed. A survey was conducted on the sample of 263 firms operating in high-tech industries in Poland. To verify the assumed relationships statistical instruments were used, including descriptive statistics, Chi-Square test, the Kruskal-Wallis test and multivariate regression. Findings: The level of innovativeness of investigated hi-tech firms was relatively high. Results suggest that the innovativeness of a business contributes to the intensification of the internationalization process of firms operating in high-tech industries. The regression model confirms the dependence of internationalization on three innovative behaviours, such as the general evaluation of innovativeness of the firm), the pace of innovation diffusion and the number of implemented innovations. Implications & Recommendations: Polish high-tech businesses seem to be relatively well internationalized, especially in comparisons to general business population. Policy makers should continue to support innovativeness of Polish economy, but especially these industries which are highly innovative. Contribution & Value Added: The research presented in the article seems to be one of the first in Poland investigating into internationalization and innovation in hightech industries. The results are in line with the majority of empirical evidence worldwide. The preliminary link between innovation and internationalization among Polish high-tech businesses was confirmed.
