“…For this reason; similar terms in the studies refer to different temporal perspectives of the speed. However, Prashantham and Young (2009) made a clear distinction between initial entry speed (time between inception of a firm and its first international activity) and post entry speed (period between two international activities) lately, but the studies we gathered fall into three different perspectives; first group focuses on period between firm inception and start of the internationalization which is also known as initial entry speed (Li, Qian, & Qian, 2015;Jörgensen, 2014;Teixeira & Coimbra, 2014;Chang, Jaw, & Chiu, 2012;Nowinski & Bakinowska, 2012 etc. ), second one argues about the time lag between two consecutive international activities also known as post-entry speed (Johanson & Kalinic, 2016;Schu, Morschett, & Swoboda, 2016;Mohr & Batsakis, 2014;Casillas & Moreno-Menendez, 2014;Chen & Yeh, 2012 etc.…”

This study offers a novel approach in conceptualizing and measuring the internationalization speed of new ventures. International entrepreneurship literature deals extensively with the internationalization speed of new ventures; yet, there is not an agreed upon conceptualization of speed. Majority of studies operationalize speed as the time it takes from inception to make the first international activity. However, we know from Physics, speed is equal to distance divided by time. So, current perspective in internationalization literature misses the distance dimension. As a main contribution of this study, we calculate speed in terms of distance and time by using CAGE distance framework with gravity model, investigate the antecedents of this new speed calculation for international new ventures and compare results with the traditional speed measure of time only. Results indicate new speed measurement is more reliable and valid.

“…According to Zhou & Wu (2014), early internationalization is "a result of entrepreneurial spirit and entrepreneurial capability" and must be considered as an index of international entrepreneurial behavior (Teixeira & Coimbra, 2014). It must be noted that concepts such as speed, pace, rapid, and accelerated are used by international enterprise researchers to explain the phenomenon of early and rapid internationalization.…”

This study seeks to identify and prioritize the determining factors in the early internationalization of international new ventures in Halal food industry. In terms of nature and objective, this is an applied research employing quantitative methods. The process consists of two steps. First, the most important factors in the early internationalization of new ventures were identified through an inquiry into previous literature. Then, a questionnaire was devised and distributed among 80 managers and experts working in new Halal food ventures. Subsequently, the collected data were analyzed by PLS and SPSS software. Results indicate that factors such as the managerial characteristics, the company features, the network, the industry features, technology, company resources, country features, advertisement and the knowledge as well as Halal brands (form the participants' perspective) have respectively contributed to the early internationalization of international new ventures in Halal food industry in Iran.

“…For many high-technology ventures in this context, internationalization has increasingly become a growth strategy to enable the pursuit of larger markets and exploitation of new innovations to full fruition (Keen and Etemad, 2012;Teixeira et al, 2014;Evers et al 2014). However, technological superiority is not a guarantee for high-technology firms' success.…”

International entrepreneurship in universities: Context, emergence and actors

2016

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This special issue presents an opportunity to explore the international aspects of academic and university based international entrepreneurship. Over the last decades much research attention has been focused on university spin-off firms (USOs) on issues such as, creation, risk, strategies and performance (see Druilhe and Garnsey, 2004;Link and Scott, 2005;Lockett and Wright, 2005;Walter et al, 2006;Wright et al., 2006). There has been a dearth of studies that have examined the international dimensions and aspects of university-based spin-off firms. The six articles presented in this special issue point towards interesting future research agendas at the interface between academic and international entrepreneurship. Three core themes emerge from this special issue: Context, Emergence and Actors. In sum, this special issue pinpoints: firstly, specific features of universities and research organizations as contexts for international technology entrepreneurship; secondly, the process of organizational emergence and entrepreneurial cognition; and thirdly, insight into learning processes of USOs and the role of non-academic actors. Our article concludes by identifying future avenues of
