Abstract

Today, the factors that influence EIF international trajectory remain underexplored. Recently a new research perspective has encouraged using the microfoundations of dynamic capabilities to better understand EIFs’ international high-growth. To respond to that research opportunity, we explored the case of 15 high-growth EIFs using an abductive method. We found the existence of two feedback loops that seem to be at the origin of EIFs’ international high-growth: one related to international commercial intensity and the other, to international expansion. Then, we propose an integrative model based on the microfoundations of dynamic capabilities to understand how some EIFs are experiencing international high-growth. Finally, we offer managers some key recommendations regarding human resources and how to manage them during EIFs’ international high-growth trajectory and for guaranteeing organizational planning and agility.Video AbstractRead the transcriptWatch the video on Vimeo© 2023 International Council for Small Business
