Abstract

While the international entrepreneurship literature suggests that international entrepreneurial orientation (IEO) is a critical strategic posture that can enhance the speed of internationalisation, the drivers pertaining to entrepreneurial aspiration in the international entrepreneurship context remains underexplored. Using the theory of planned behaviour, this study explored how IEO arising from international entrepreneurial aspiration triggers the speed of internationalisation of entrepreneurial ventures in an emerging economy – Ghana. Based on a moderated mediation model, this study posits that international political network ties moderates the positive link between IEO and internationalisation speed and strengthens the positive indirect effect between international entrepreneurial aspiration and the speed of internationalisation. Results from a sample of 229 entrepreneurial ventures supported our hypotheses. Theoretical and practical implications, as well as the limitations and future research directions are discussed.

渴望走出国门：国际创业愿望如何以及何时推动新兴市场创业企业的国际化速度

虽然国际创业文献表明，国际创业导向（IEO）是一种关键的战略态势，可以提高国际化的速度，但在国际创业背景下，与创业愿望相关的驱动因素仍未得到充分探索。本研究运用计划行为理论，探讨了在新兴经济体--加纳，国际创业愿望所产生的 IEO 如何触发创业企业的国际化速度。基于调节中介模型，本研究认为国际政治网络关系调节了 IEO 与国际化速度之间的正向联系，并加强了国际创业愿望与国际化速度之间的正向间接效应。229 个创业企业样本的研究结果支持了我们的假设。本文讨论了理论和实践意义，以及局限性和未来研究方向。
