dc.description.abstract | Micro-multinational enterprises (mMNEs) represent a new breed of smaller firms in the field of international
entrepreneurship. This study investigates the effects of the three sets of variables, namely international entrepreneurship
(which encompasses innovativeness, proactiveness and risk-taking propensity), networking
and learning on the probability that a firm will become a MNE. Drawing upon a survey of the activities of
116 Chilean internationalized small- and medium-sized firms and utilizing a logistic regression analysis,
this study suggests that risk-taking propensity and networking with domestic and international partners increase
the likelihood that the firm will become a mMNE. Our findings confirm the predictive validity of the
international entrepreneurship and networking perspectives. Because of the positive association between
mMNEs and international performance, the suggestions for management of internationalized firms are to
nurture a risk-taking propensity and cultivate a networking orientation. | |
