Abstract

This paper contributes to an integrated entrepreneurship perspective in the cross-section of research on networks, innovation and internationalisation. The study promotes a conceptualisation based on international competitiveness literature in order to further such an integrated entrepreneurship perspective. By focusing on potential international network competitiveness, delineated as network-based sources of international competitiveness, the sustainability of international entrepreneurial firms is emphasised. The paper specifically draws attention to the relationship between network-based sources of international competitiveness and international technology development. Three hypotheses are developed and tested on 142 technology-based internationalising SMEs by means of linear structural relations (LISREL). The results indicate that there are direct- and indirect positive effects between network-based sources of international competitiveness and international technology development.

科技型国际中小企业的国际竞争力潜力与协同创新

本文在网络、创新与国际化研究的横截面中提供了一个整合创业的视角。本研究以国际竞争力文献为基础，提出概念化的概念，以进一步整合创业的视角。通过关注潜在的国际网络竞争力，将其描述为国际竞争力的基于网络的来源，强调了国际创业公司的可持续性。本文特别关注基于网络的国际竞争力来源与国际技术发展之间的关系。利用线性结构关系(LISREL)对142家技术型国际化中小企业进行了三个假设的检验。研究结果表明，基于网络的国际竞争力来源与国际技术发展之间存在直接和间接的正向影响。
