From a cognitive perspective, we examine how global identity facilitates the development of dynamic capabilities during EMNEs’ internationalization. Triangulating multiple sources of data during 1984–2021, we conduct an intensive case study of Lenovo to address this question. First, we present an evolutionary shift from local to global identity at Lenovo through its claims and images. Second, we find three cognitive components of organizational global identity: diverse human capital, global vision, and agility thinking. The cognitive components of global identity are the building blocks for the construction of the micro-processes of dynamic capabilities in sensing, seizing, and transforming at Lenovo. This research extends our understanding of EMNEs’ internationalization and dynamic capabilities from a cognitive perspective. The findings offer insights about how global identity orchestrates EMNEs’ cognition to enhance their capabilities during internationalization.

EMNE 动态能力的认知前因：联想全球身份的案例研究

从认知角度，我们研究了全球身份如何促进新兴市场企业国际化过程中动态能力的发展。我们对 1984 年至 2021 年期间的多个数据源进行了三角测量，对联想进行了深入的案例研究来解决这个问题。首先，我们通过其声明和形象展示联想从本地身份到全球身份的演变。其次，我们发现组织全球认同的三个认知组成部分：多元化的人力资本、全球视野和敏捷思维。全球身份的认知组件是联想构建感知、捕捉和转换动态能力微流程的基石。这项研究从认知角度拓展了我们对新兴市场企业国际化和动态能力的理解。研究结果提供了关于全球身份如何协调新兴市场企业的认知以增强其国际化过程中的能力的见解。
