Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This paper has two closely related purposes. A first purpose is to increase ouunderstanding of foreign acquisitions by considering them within the conteof the internationalization process of the firm. Second, by focusing on the rof acquisitions the paper is meant to contribute to a development of the moof the internationalization process of the firm. By focusing the embedded nture of the business firm it places attention on the role of organic acquisitias contrasted to the discontinuous changes associated with foreign acquisitions.A conceptual result is that the paper offers a framework for analyzing the rof foreign acquisitions in the internationalization process of the business firThis framework takes into consideration both antecedents to and consequencof acquisitions.An empirical result is the finding that there seems to be a strong tendency amonacquired firms to remain unaffected by the revised legal boundaries long afthe acquisition. Thus, the result of acquisitions seems primarily to be strengtening old rather than establishing new market network positions.

Risk Management in the internationalization process of the firm : A note on the Uppsala model
- 2011

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This paper analytically and graphically examines the Uppsala model's risk formula (Johanson & Vahlne, 1977) in its two variables: commitment and uncertainty. The graphical treatment of the variables demonstrates the internationalization mechanism's consistency with the risk formula. In particular, commitment manipulation develops a risk management perspective to the model, wherein contingent uncertainty is a central concept. The main contribution consists in the composition of a set of hypotheses on the effects of risk contingencies on a firm's commitment behavior in different internationalization phases. A pertinent remark that emerges from this analytical exercise is the Uppsala model's contingent nature, which explains the differences in the pattern and pace of the internationalization process, as well as potential leapfrogging and market-exit moves.

Serendipitous Opportunities, Entrepreneurial Logic and Knowledge in International Business Networks
- 2016
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Few researchers and even fewer practitioners would deny that luck, chance or serendipitous events play a central role in the growth process of firms. However, most entrepreneurship models ignore the role of serendipity in the opportunity discovery process. Instead, it is assumed that international opportunities are discovered or created by entrepreneurs. In this paper we provide a more nuanced view on international opportunities by developing the role of serendipitous opportunities in the internationalization process. We develop a model integrating the notions of serendipity, entrepreneurial logic, experiential knowledge and network knowledge redundancy. From our model we condense three sets of hypotheses on the relationships among experiential knowledge and entrepreneurial logic, network knowledge redundancy and entrepreneurial logic, and entrepreneurial logic and serendipity. We confront our hypotheses with data collected on-site at 160 firms covering 226 opportunities. The result of our analysis reveals that experiential knowledge and network knowledge redundancy both lead to a more causation-based logic of the firm. Causation in turn reduces the likeliness that serendipitous opportunities will be realized in the internationalization process. These findings come with implications for both researchers and practitioners.

Experience and growth expectations in the internationalization process of SME’s
- 2006
-
Ingår i: EMAC.

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- The objective of this paper is to test if prior knowledge and market knowledge influence the firm’s expectation that it will find growth opportunities in foreign markets. The study advances four hypotheses, which are tested on a sample of460 CEO’s or managers in firms in Denmark, New Zealand and Sweden. A LISREL analysis gives support to three of the hypotheses: General international business experience and knowledge about competitors in the foreign tend to have a positive effect on the firm’s expectation to find growth opportunities. Firms with a higher degree of international experience tend to have more relevant international business experience. Knowledge about the customer, however, had the opposite sign to the proposed one. Firms with more knowledge about customers tend to see less growth opportunities. The main conclusion drawn from the study is that firms expect to find growth opportunities based on its concrete business experience. Business operations can help the firm to recognize opportunities but also limit how far it can see. The operations thereby define the firm’s opportunity horizon. Customer knowledge, however, seems to be a result of already exploited opportunities.
