| Abstract: | This study presents the development and application of a new measure of international entrepreneurial capability. The data
were collected from manufacturing firms in China, both traditional exporters and born global firms. Five key dimensions of
international entrepreneurial capability were identified from the capability and entrepreneurship literature. After scale
purification and validation, this new measure was used to examine the relationship between international entrepreneurial capability
and global market performance. Born global firms are statistically different from traditional firms along three dimensions:
international learning capability, international networking capability, and international experience. Implications and future
research directions are then provided. |
