Abstract

Academics and policymakers worldwide recognize the importance of born globals (BGs) and actively promote rapid internationalization. Despite this, our knowledge of the post-entry behavior of BGs is limited. We address this problem by investigating the dynamic capabilities that accelerate the post-entry international growth of BGs. Drawing on in-depth interviews with Chinese BG managers, this study reveals the dynamic capabilities that substantiate three key dimensions of international growth: spread, diversification, and sales intensity. Furthermore, we disclose the managerial and organizational capabilities that underpin the sensing and seizing of international opportunities as well as the reconfiguration of the resource base. We contribute to the BG literature and the dynamic capabilities perspective.
