Abstract

By drawing upon imitation research, this study addresses the role peers play in rapid internationalization by emerging market firms (EMFs). We argue that imitation of industry peers’ international expansion accelerates EMFs’ internationalization speed through two mutually reinforcing mechanisms: information-based imitation, which legitimizes similar operations and conveys valuable information; and rivalry-based imitation, which exerts considerable competitive pressure. We find that industry peers’ international expansion is positively related to EMFs’ internationalization speed. Such positive effect is stronger when EMFs lack prior international experience and when industry competitive intensity is strong.

新兴市场企业的模仿和快速国际化

通过借鉴模仿研究，本研究解决了同行在新兴市场企业(emf)快速国际化中所扮演的角色。我们认为，模仿行业同行的国际扩张通过两种相互促进的机制加速了emf的国际化速度:基于信息的模仿，使类似的操作合法化并传递有价值的信息;以及基于竞争的模仿，这产生了相当大的竞争压力。研究发现，行业同业的国际化扩张与电磁场的国际化速度正相关。当电磁场缺乏国际经验和行业竞争强度较强时，这种积极作用更强。

期刊介绍： The Journal of World Business holds a distinguished position as a leading publication within the realm of International Business. Rooted in a legacy dating back to 1965, when it was established as the Columbia Journal of World Business, JWB is committed to disseminating cutting-edge research that reflects significant advancements in the field. The journal actively seeks submissions that propel new theoretical frameworks and innovative perspectives on International Business phenomena. Aligned with its domain statement, submissions are expected to possess a clear multinational, cross-border, or international comparative focus, while remaining pertinent to the study of management and organizations. JWB particularly encourages submissions that challenge established theories or assumptions, presenting pioneering or counterintuitive findings. With an inclusive approach, the journal welcomes contributions from diverse conceptual and theoretical traditions, encompassing allied social sciences and behavioral sciences. Submissions should either develop new theories or rigorously test existing ones, employing a variety of qualitative, quantitative, or other methodological approaches. While JWB primarily caters to scholars and researchers, it values contributions that explore implications for Multinational Enterprises and their management, as well as ramifications for public policy and the broader societal role of business.
