Abstract

In recent years, the dynamics of international business have changed. This has largely been attributed to uncertainties caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and global trends towards individualistic behaviours. To remain competitive, international entrepreneurial firms (IEFs) renew their behaviours and reconfigure their capabilities. However, scholars have hitherto not uncovered the configurational interplay connecting behaviours and capabilities between the pre-and-post-COVID periods. Drawing on the configurational perspective of dynamic capability theory, we explored the configurational specificities of dynamic internationalisation capability and an international entrepreneurial orientation (IEO) as the behavioural aspect of IEFs. Adopting a longitudinal approach, we applied to data drawn from Malaysia. Results show that whereas, in the pre-COVID period, IEFs exhibited an IEO along with threshold and disruption capabilities, in the wake of the pandemic, they are gingerly manifesting an IEO with an overwhelming priority on value-adding and consolidation capabilities suited to weather crises and secure international performance.

配置国际创业导向和动态国际化能力以预测国际绩效

近年来，国际商业的动态发生了变化。这主要归因于 COVID-19 大流行病造成的不确定性和全球个人主义行为的趋势。为了保持竞争力，国际创业型企业（IEFs）更新了自己的行为，重新配置了自己的能力。然而，迄今为止，学者们还没有揭示出 COVID 前后时期行为与能力之间的配置相互作用。借鉴动态能力理论的构型视角，我们探讨了动态国际化能力和国际创业导向（IEO）作为 IEFs 行为方面的构型特性。我们采用纵向方法，应用了来自马来西亚的数据。结果表明，在 COVID 之前的时期，IEFs 表现出一种 IEO 以及门槛和破坏能力，而在大流行病之后，它们则谨慎地表现出一种 IEO，并将绝大多数优先事项放在适合抵御危机和确保国际绩效的增值和巩固能力上。
