Abstract

Using data from China's A-share listed companies spanning 2002 – 2022, our research uncovers an intriguing inverted U-shaped dynamic between the velocity of firms' internationalization and their long-term performance. It reveals that while an initial acceleration in internationalization bolsters performance, an overly rapid pace can subsequently lead to a deterioration. Critically, the proportion of independent directors acts as a moderating factor, as a higher concentration of these directors facilitates a balance between the speed and risks associated with internationalization, ultimately optimizing long-term corporate performance. These findings offer vital insights for companies navigating their internationalization strategies and emphasize the importance of robust corporate governance.
