Imitation and rapid internationalization of emerging market firms
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.
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.
