Purpose

The purpose of this paper is to demostrate that commitment to developing knowledge sharing, coordination, adaptation and resolving potential conflict results in idiosyncratic relational assets for firms, which increases the benefits that international new ventures (INVs) can obtain from their networking activity.

Design/methodology/approach

To test the theoretical model, a survey was conducted among a sample of INVs. The data obtained were examined with structural equation modelling using the maximum likelihood estimation procedure in linear structural relations software.

Findings

The results showed positive effects of network entrepreneurial orientation (EO) on knowledge sharing, coordination, adaptation and resolving potential conflict, but only network coordination showed a positive effect on international performance.

Research limitations/implications

The study introduces and extends EO to the network level and shows that it contributes to INVs’ international performance through its influence on the development of coordination activities among networked firms.

Practical implications

The results provide guidance for building INVs’ networks. Entrepreneurs will find orientations about which partners could be more valuable to them.

Originality/value

Little research has addressed the study of network management activities to create a network structure. This paper reveals how firms’ volition and commitment to networking helps us to understand, in a fine-grained manner, how INVs gain benefits from their social networks. Additionally, EO at the network level is also studied, and arguments are proposed showing its relationships with the aforementioned relational activities based on the fact that entrepreneurial-oriented partners are supposed to be more active in networking.

国际新创企业的国际化表现：网络创业导向和网络管理活动的问题

目的

本文的目的是证明致力于开发知识共享、协调、适应和解决潜在冲突会为公司带来特殊的关系资产，从而增加国际新企业 (INV) 可以从其网络活动中获得的收益。

设计/方法/方法

为了测试理论模型，在 INV 样本中进行了一项调查。使用线性结构关系软件中的最大似然估计程序通过结构方程建模检查获得的数据。

发现

结果表明，网络创业导向（EO）对知识共享、协调、适应和解决潜在冲突有积极影响，但只有网络协调对国际绩效有积极影响。

研究限制/影响

该研究将 EO 引入并扩展到网络层面，并表明它通过影响网络公司之间协调活动的发展，为 INV 的国际绩效做出了贡献。

实际影响

结果为构建 INV 网络提供了指导。企业家将找到关于哪些合作伙伴对他们更有价值的方向。

原创性/价值

很少有研究涉及网络管理活动以创建网络结构的研究。本文揭示了公司对网络的意愿和承诺如何帮助我们以细粒度的方式了解 INV 如何从其社交网络中获益。此外，还研究了网络层面的 EO，并基于创业导向的合作伙伴在网络中应该更加活跃这一事实，提出了论证其与上述关系活动的关系。
