In particular, the understanding of the internationalization of early-stage financing, such as business angel investment in cross-border contexts, is gaining relevance. Here, however, the informal nature, the newness of the ventures, and the cross-border environment lead to severe information asymmetries, which make the initiation of collaboration particularly complex. To provide an understanding of this phenomenon, in our qualitative study, we look at how signaling as a potential solution to information asymmetry unfolds in the context of early-stage cross-border collaboration between South African founders and European business angels. Based on our findings, we propose a model that uncovers the underlying cognitive mechanisms through which the early-stage cross-border context influences signaling processes. Moreover, we identify three potential outcomes of these interpretive processes: <em>signal appreciation, signal depreciation,</em> and <em>signal flip,</em> and suggest two potential strategies to mitigate the effects of cognitively biased signal interpretation. We contribute to the broader signaling literature and signaling in international entrepreneurship literature.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":51357,"journal":{"name":"Journal of World Business","volume":"60 5","pages":"Article 101662"},"PeriodicalIF":8.9,"publicationDate":"2025-07-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144695370","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Utilizing a sample of 3816 Chinese manufacturing firms participating in platforms to internationalize, we find that demand-driven interaction, one demand-side strategy on the digital platform, fosters international performance improvements for non-digital participant firms through facilitating innovation speed; and the benefits of demand-driven interaction in driving innovation speed are more pronounced when firms belong to industries in which there are fewer foreign firms in the home country.

This study examines the impacts of two factors, namely political affiliation and family involvement in entrepreneurial firms, on female entrepreneurs’ choice of foreign market entry mode. By analyzing comprehensive survey data from the venture firms in China, we uncover the relationships between these factors and the inclination to select higher commitment entry modes. Our findings reveal that female entrepreneurs with a higher level of political affiliation are likely to opt for a higher commitment foreign market entry mode. Likewise, those with greater family involvement demonstrate a preference for higher commitment entry modes. Furthermore, our study reveals the complex interplay between the resources and financial constraints. Political affiliations complement financial resources, increasing the likelihood of higher commitment entries. In contrast, family involvement acts as a substitute when financial resources are limited. This study sheds light on the diverse resources that female entrepreneurs rely on and how these resources, either independently or interactively, influence these entrepreneurs’ international entry mode choices. These findings contribute to a deeper understanding of the unique challenges and internationalization of female entrepreneurship in emerging economies.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":51357,"journal":{"name":"Journal of World Business","volume":"60 5","pages":"Article 101650"},"PeriodicalIF":8.9,"publicationDate":"2025-05-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144185084","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

With this paper, we provide a systematic review of the literature on the internationalization of DPFs with an emphasis on understanding their characteristics, internationalization patterns and typologies. We aim to provide a deeper understanding of the internationalization of DPFs and the distinct factors that influence this process. We believe that such a timely, comprehensive review will help international business and management scholars chart a clear path for future research.

We explore this research question in the context of Hollywood by examining how gender representation and ethnic diversity in movie casts influence international box office success. Our findings, based on data from 2000 to 2021 for >3000 Hollywood movies, suggest that gender diversity positively impacts international box office performance, whereas ethnic diversity has a negative effect. However, these relationships are contingent on movie genre (culture-neutral versus culture-sensitive) and international coproduction of movies. A culturally neutral genre with universal appeal weakens both the positive impact of gender diversity and the negative impact of ethnic diversity on international box office performance. In contrast, international co-production of movies strengthens the positive impact of gender diversity and the negative impact of ethnic diversity on international box office performance.
