PurposeExternal knowledge is a key resource for the success and the survival of born global firms; however, existing models provide minimal evidence on how these firms should source this knowledge resource. Thus, the purpose of this research is to increase understanding on the impact of diverse knowledge search and knowledge formal protection in international new ventures (INVs).Design/methodology/approachThe study uses a quantitative methodology based on a sample of start-ups from the Spanish Community Innovation Survey data. Using ordinary least squares regressions on a 10-year period panel data, this research tests the moderator role of a heterogeneous base of international partners and formal knowledge appropriation strategy on the relationship between start-ups and their export performance.FindingsThe results show that compared to non-born global start-ups, born global firms benefit more from establishing relationships with a set of heterogeneous international partners. By contrast, all start-ups benefit from an extensive appropriation strategy if they establish such alliances with diverse international partners.Originality/valueThe study extends current theory on international entrepreneurship by providing a new theoretical framework for INVs of both the extensive use of formal mechanisms of knowledge protection and the access to heterogeneous and distant knowledge. This study has also several implications for knowledge management domain.

开放战略与国际创业的成功

目的外部知识是全球性企业成功和生存的关键资源;然而,现有模型对这些公司应该如何获取这种知识资源提供的证据很少。因此,本研究的目的是加深对国际新企业 (INV) 中多样化知识搜索和知识形式保护的影响的理解。设计/方法/方法本研究使用基于来自西班牙社区创新调查数据。本研究使用 10 年期面板数据的普通最小二乘回归,检验了国际合作伙伴的异质基础和正式知识挪用策略对初创企业与其出口业绩之间关系的调节作用。调查结果结果表明,与非出生的全球初创企业相比,出生的全球公司从与一组异质的国际合作伙伴建立关系中受益更多。相比之下,如果所有初创企业与不同的国际合作伙伴建立这样的联盟,它们都会受益于广泛的拨款策略。原创性/价值该研究通过为 INV 提供新的理论框架来扩展当前的国际创业理论,即广泛使用正式机制知识保护和对异质和遥远知识的访问。本研究对知识管理领域也有一些启示。如果所有初创企业与不同的国际合作伙伴建立此类联盟,所有初创企业都将从广泛的拨款战略中受益。原创性/价值该研究通过为 INV 提供一个新的理论框架,即广泛使用知识保护的正式机制和访问异质和遥远的知识。本研究对知识管理领域也有一些启示。如果所有初创企业与不同的国际合作伙伴建立此类联盟,所有初创企业都将从广泛的拨款战略中受益。原创性/价值该研究通过为 INV 提供一个新的理论框架,即广泛使用知识保护的正式机制和访问异质和遥远的知识。本研究对知识管理领域也有一些启示。
