A Global Mindset — A Prerequisite for Successful Internationalization?

Nummela, Niina, Saarenketo, Sami, Puumalainen, Kaisu·2004·Canadian Journal of Administrative Sciences / Revue Canadienne des Sciences de l'Administration

Abstract

This study offers a contribution to our understanding of the role of a global mindset in the successful internationalization of small and medium‐sized companies. The particular focus is on the drivers of the global mindset and the connection with performance. We created a framework and tested it, empirically, with a representative sample of small Finnish companies in the field of information and communications technology (ICT). The findings indicate that managerial experience and market characteristics are important drivers of the global mindset, which, in turn, is one of the key parameters of international performance. The paper includes our conclusions, a discussion of the limitations of the study and the managerial implications, and suggestions for future research. Résumé: La présente étude se propose de faire comprendre le rôle que joue la mentalité globale dans l'internationalisation heureuse des petites et moyennes entreprises. Nous nous appesantissons surtout sur les facteurs motivants de la mentalité et sur ses rapports avec la performance. Nous créons un cadre que nous testons, de façon empirique, à partir d'un échantillon représentatif de petites entreprises finnoises opérant dans le secteur des Technologies de l'information et de la communication (ICT). Les résultats indiquent que l'expérience en matière de gestion et les caractéristiques du marché sont des catalyseurs importants de la mentalité globale qui, à son tour, est l'un des paramètres clé de la performance internationale. L'étude dégage également nos conclusions, ses implications en matière de gestion, ses limites et propose des pistes de recherche futures.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
