TLDR
In this paper, the authors explored the influence of product-related factors on the internationalization modes of emerging market born global firms, in terms of their initial and continued international expansion.Abstract:
Motivated by the fact that emerging-market firms are increasingly internationalizing their operations, this study explores the influence of product-related factors on the internationalization modes of emerging market born global firms, in terms of their initial and continued international expansion. Based on data from seven born globals in the Indian apparel industry, we find that these firms continue to be global players using low-commitment internationalization modes in their initial and continued internationalization, and that their product offerings influence their selection of entry modes and their acquisition of foreign customer knowledge. We have identified and bridged a gap in the knowledgebased internationalization process perspective relating to the influence of product-related factors on companies’ acquisition of foreign market knowledge and internationalization processes.read more

Effects of alliances, time, and network cohesion on the initiation of foreign sales by new ventures
TL;DR: It is proposed that knowledge derived from ventures' technology and marketing alliances increases the likelihood that new ventures begin exploiting opportunities in international markets, and the extent to which the networks open the venture to new knowledge or constrain it to knowledge already shared among the partners will influence the initiation of foreign sales by a venture.

Sequencing the expansion of geographic scope and foreign operations by "born global" firms
TL;DR: The authors empirically demonstrates that born global firms stick to a dominant internationalization path over subsequent periods, and this phenomenon reflects managerial efforts to reduce the perceived risk of internationalization, and their preference to develop and leverage capabilities that are specific to either of the internationalization paths until the economies of further expanding this path are exhausted.

Product Diversification and International Expansion of Business Groups: Evidence from India
TL;DR: This paper found that high product diversification has an adverse effect on the international expansion of emerging market business groups, and that international orientation and group resources positively moderate this relationship, suggesting that those business groups that can effectively employ their learning from prior international exposure and their technical competences are better placed to simultaneously pursue a strategy of product diversifying and international expansion.
