Understanding the drivers of international performance for born global firms: an integrated perspective (2015, neutral): “& Munro, 1997; Crick & Jones, 2000; Gassmann & Keupp, 2007).”
Decision mode, information and network attachment in the internationalization of SMEs: A configurational and contingency analysis (2014, neutral): “…of factors, a knowledge-based view of internationalization (Bell, McNaughton, Young, & Crick, 2003; Casillas, Moreno, Acedo, Gallego, & Ramos, 2009; Gassmann & Keupp, 2007; Musteen, Francis, & Datta, 2010) suggests one particularly important differentiator among SMEs on which we shall focus…”
International Entrepreneurship: A Meta–Analysis on the Internationalization and Performance Relationship (2018, background): “When knowledge disseminates, it loses its status as a unique resource endangering the firm’s sustainable rent-generating opportunities (Amit & Schoemaker, 1993; Oviatt & McDougall, 1994), as the firm’s products lose their distinctiveness and/or uniqueness (Gassmann & Keupp, 2007).”
Entrepreneurial Orientation and International Scope: The Differential Roles of Innovativeness, Proactiveness, and Risk-Taking (2014, background): “…markets via existing networks rather than “pushing” themselves into new markets through their own initiatives (Coviello and Munro, 1997), firms with low proactiveness are indeed able to efficiently enter a large number of foreign markets (Gassmann and Keupp, 2007 and Zahra and Garvis, 2000).”
SME international business models: the role of context and experience (2017, background): “While there are studies investigating the internationalization of SMEs in given sectors (e.g. Gassmann & Keupp, 2007; Ojala & Tyrväinen, 2006), comparative studies that discuss different industry contexts and their associations with firm behavior remain relatively rare (Messner, 2016).”
The Future of Open Innovation (2010, background): “Some SMEs can overcome their ‘liability of smallness’ by opening up their innovation process (Keupp and Gassmann, 2007; van de Vrande et al., 2010).”
SME internationalization beyond exporting: A knowledge-based perspective across managers and advisers (2018, background): “First, in alignment with prior qualitative studies on SME internationalization (e.g., Gassmann & Keupp, 2007; Muzychenko & Liesch, 2015), we only considered top managers, directly involved in the internationalization strategy of UK-founded micromultinationals (engaged in at least one foreign…”
The Past and the Future of International Entrepreneurship: A Review and Suggestions for Developing the Field (2009, background): “…elements such as strategic management, access to resources, knowledge and information, firm capabilities, and innovatory advantages, all of which enable entrepreneurial firms to internationalize their business in an entrepreneurial manner over time (Gassmann & Keupp, 2007; Knight & Cavusgil, 2004).”
Collaboration and Internationalization of SMEs: Insights and Recommendations from a Systematic Review (2020, background): “…some small firms internationalize from inception (bornglobal firms) as a result of the availability of resources from local networks (Crick 2009; Gassmann and Keupp 2007), others internationalize long after being established, as a result of foreign market knowledge acquisition from…”
Foreign market entry mode choice of small and medium-sized enterprises: A systematic review and future research agenda (2014, background): “Due to their smaller size, SMEs are less susceptible to inertia than larger MNEs and are able to adapt more rapidly and flexible to different market conditions than MNEs (Aragón-Correa, Hurtado-Torres, Sharma, & García-Morales, 2008; Gassmann & Keupp, 2007).”
