Drawing on the dynamic capabilities perspective, we argue that LBE necessitates all three elements but recognize that simultaneously pursuing early exports, broad market scope, and innovation may strain resources and impede LBE. Through a qualitative comparative analysis of 2748 manufacturing firms from 2007 to 2014, this study captures the causal complexity of LBE factors, including possible equifinal and asymmetric relationships. Our findings provide valuable insights for researchers, particularly highlighting the significance of internationalization dimensions in the context of LBE.

We observe that legitimacy in EEs has many facets. Yet, it is often analyzed in a selective way – focusing on specific events or activities without considering the complexity of the phenomenon of how legitimacy is created, maintained and lost. We argue that organizational legitimacy is a very useful construct for international management research on EEs, and that the concept lends itself to more rigorous theoretical advancement than category-based concepts such as liability of foreignness. However, the IB literature has only partially embraced recent theoretical advances on the concept of legitimacy. We distinguish contingency, agency and judgement views of legitimacy to explore how applications of the concept may enhance our understanding of MNEs operating in EEs.

Results showed that discrepancies between external job requirements and policy directions were used by employees as a source of power to legitimize reinterpretations of the policy leading to a language destandardization process with important consequences for the organization.

Building on cognitive bias theory, we further posit that status quo bias plays a significant role in shaping the relationship between EO and opportunity recognition and exploitation. We test our hypotheses using survey data collected from 275 internationalizing firms. The empirical results suggest that EO variants exhibit distinct influences and are influenced in unique ways by international opportunity recognition, exploitation and status quo bias. Specifically, we find that a higher level of status quo bias strengthens the relationship between Schumpeterian EO and opportunity recognition, whereas a lower level strengthens the association between Schumpeterian EO and opportunity exploitation.
