“…Generally, the patterns of development determine the direction of sustainable development [31]. Many scholars have discussed the organizational sustainability from the perspectives of entrepreneurship [32][33][34][35][36], human resources [29,37], the path of knowledge capability [31,[38][39][40], and corporate social responsibility [30], and suggest that organizations design a sustainable development plan according to their own conditions. For example, to realize sustainable innovation, manufacturing organizations should concern problems in technology; while service organizations should be concerned with issues about the structure and business model [41].…”

Although knowledge-sharing, an important facet of knowledge management, has been encouraged for the sustainable development of organizations, this kind of behavior is still not prevalent among group members. To enrich the literature and contribute to its practical usage, this research proposed a model based on the fit theory to examine the roles of perceived insider status (PIS) and power distance orientation in subordinates’ Moqi with supervisors (SMS) and knowledge-sharing. Survey data from eight firms in China contained 196 samples and was analyzed by MPLUS software to justify the hypotheses. The results showed that: first, SMS predicted knowledge-sharing and perceived insider status; second, perceived insider status positively mediated the relationship between SMS and knowledge-sharing; third, power distance orientation not only positively moderated the relationship between SMS and perceived insider status, but also positively moderated the relationship between SMS and knowledge-sharing. This study enriched the literature on the antecedents of knowledge-sharing and application of SMS. Additionally, this study proposes a few suggestions to practitioners and researchers for establishing sustainable organizations.

“…Numerous scholars have harnessed the importance of a GM as a determinant of IE (Felício et al 2015;Felício et al 2016;Felício et al 2012;Kyvik et al 2013;Kyvik 2018;Nummela et al 2004). Several attempts have been made to distinguish a corporate GM and an individual GM (Felício et al 2015;Felício et al 2016) which could be seen as contradictory to literature stating GM as a state of mind related to an individual Jie and Harms 2017;Kyvik 2011;Kyvik et al 2013).…”

“…Kyvik (2011) for example describes a GM as "one key superior managerial orientation in the internationalisation process and as conceptually closely related to international entrepreneurship" (Kyvik 2011, p. 315). An individual GM is furthermore described as a behavioral or cognitive structure characterized by openness to and understanding of different cultures (Kyvik 2018) and enabling the entrepreneur to be aware of and identify international opportunities (Felício et al 2016).…”

“…As our working definition we choose the definition offered by Levy et al (2007) who define GM as "a highly complex cognitive structure characterized by an openness to and articulation of multiple cultural and strategic realities on both global and local levels, and the cognitive ability to mediate and integrate across this multiplicity" (Levy et al 2007, p. 244). It has been suggested that the individual GM can be furthermore described as a resource or capability that influences entrepreneurial behavior and decisions related to international activity (Kyvik 2018). An individual GM can be characterized by three factors, namely international cognition, knowledge, and behavior (Felício et al 2016).…”

“…A GM is characterized by behavioral and cognitive factors that relate to global openness and foreign opportunity identification (Kyvik 2018) and can be explained by the mindset theory (Felício et al 2015). Thus, a global orientation towards IE activity is determined by "mind-set"-that is, a phase-typical cognitive orientation that promotes task completion" (Gollwitzer 1990, 63).…”

Cross-Country Differences in Entrepreneurial Internationalization Tendencies: Evidence from Germany and Pakistan

Previous research has emphasized the importance of entrepreneurial characteristics for international entrepreneurship, hence the application of concepts such as entrepreneurial orientation and global mindset to the study of entrepreneurial internationalization tendencies (EIT). However, literature does not adequately address how EIT differ between countries or manifest in fragile country settings. We address this gap through a quantitative study to investigate EIT in two national settings that largely differ in terms of development, institutional stability, and culture. Through the lens of the institutional theory and the mindset theory, we therefore piloted the study on 112 high-growth startups in Germany and Pakistan. Our findings show, that while entrepreneurs in Germany and Pakistan show comparable levels of innovativeness and proactiveness, they significantly differ in other EIT measures. German entrepreneurs appear to have higher levels of risk-taking, which when explained through the institutional theory lens can be attributed to the higher institutional stability and support as well as social security in Germany. This potentially makes engagement in risky activities, such as business internationalization, more appealing than in Pakistan. However, despite having lower international cognition and international knowledge compared to Germany, Pakistani entrepreneurs appear to exhibit higher degrees of international behavior.
