Abstract

In Chapter 7, Liu (2020) investigates how firms build technological capability during internationalization, by examining one in-depth case study in the energy sector, namely wind energy. The case study outlines a 20-year long process of internationalisation in relation to technological capability building. The chapter examines the firm’s strategic intention as well as strategic process in order to understand how the firm has built up its technological capability and transited from production to innovation. The chapter finds that the transition of the firm from production to innovation is facilitated by cross-border technological learning through human mobility between the headquarters and its foreign counterpart. In addition, the cross-border technological learning is enabled by cross-border relationships and trust developed through a long-term personal relationship building among the key managers.
