International entrepreneurship at the crossroads between innovation and internationalization
Journal of International Entrepreneurship, 2014Co-Authors: Birgit Hagen, Stefano Denicolai, Antonella ZucchellaAbstract:In the last years, the global economy has undergone a dramatic Change. Developed economies face the challenge of new players from emerging countries, slow growth problems, and even recession, combined with a weaker entrepreneurial activity (Amoros and Bosma, 2014). This new economic order calls for a significant reshaping of competition, which leverages on the interplay of the discovery/enactment of new opportunities, the ability to create innovative value propositions and lead them to success, and the capacity to mobilize and manage resources at the global level. In other words, this new economic landscape requires a combination of entrepreneurship, innovation, and internationalization. Internationalization and innovation are two major options to achieve firm growth. Traditionally, these two routes to growth have been studied separately and only recently innovation and internationalization are increasingly seen as being strongly interrelated, with entrepreneurship representing the trait d'union between the two (Onetti et al. 2012; Etemad and Keen, 2012; Zucchella and Siano 2014). Entrepreneurial posture and the Attitude to Change and innovation play a central role in the internationalization process of both established firms and born global firms, especially in new, rapidly changing environments. However, the intersection of innovation, internationalization, and entrepreneurship is a field of study with a number of research gaps. In the first place, the causal relationship between innovation and internationalization is controver-sial. A large body of literature argues that international firms tend to exploit their superior innovative capabilities in several markets (e.g., Pla-Barber and Alegre, 2007; Kafouros et al., 2008; Cassiman and Golovko, 2011; Denicolai et al., 2014). According to other scholars, the relationship between innovation and internationalization is almost insignificant, and even negative (e.g. Hitt et al. 1997). Secondly, much of the interna-tional new venture literature is implicitly based on innovative and high-technology firms, the role of innovation in other sectors and in different typologies of international entrepreneurship (for example, immigrant entrepreneurs), types of business models which enhance the interplay between internationalization and innovation, etc. remain under-investigated. In short, we need further contributions aimed at clarifying the nature, trends, and dynamics of international entrepreneurship. These considerations started with the 15th McGill International Entrepreneurship Conference and led to this special issue, consisting of five papers. The article by Gray and Farminer aims to contribute to the ongoing debate over the nature and future directions of international entrepreneurship (e.g., Jones et al. 2011; Keupp and Gassmann, 2009) and its linkage with innovation in particular. They approach this goal through a " review of reviews " of recent International Entrepreneur-ship (IE) studies as well as a census of the articles published in the Journal of International Entrepreneurship between its inception in 2003 until the beginning of 2012. The authors highlight the convergence with regard to IE's positioning at the intersection of entrepreneurship and IB studies, but they also highlight the gap relative to a second intersection, which is the focus of this special issue. As mentioned above, the authors emphasize the need for a clarification of the links among entrepreneurship, innovation, and internationalization. Gray and Farminer extend Rialp et al.'s (2005) question from " …early internationalizing firms: what do we know after a decade of scientific inquiry " to " what do we know about the dynamics and patterns of INV creation, innovation and internationalisation after two decades of scientific inquiry " and provide further evidence for a general lack of longitudinal studies, which is also reflected in recent special issues of IMR and MIR (Hagen and Zucchella 2014), respectively. In particular, the authors note that only a few studies are concerned with firm lifecycles, the aspects of business model creation and evolution, studies of dynamic capabilities, collaborative approaches, and social networks leading to innova-tion and value creation. This special issue contributes to the debate of issues raised by Gray and Farminer and others. Studies in this issue adopt different perspectives and methods, but they share the goal of bringing together entrepreneurship, international business, innovation, and economic development. What happens after the inception of international new ventures (INVs) has received limited research attention but it is crucial to our understanding of the entrepreneurial process and entrepreneurial activities as a whole (Liesch et al., 2007). The contribution by Turcan and Juho adopts this longitudinal view under the dynamic capability perspective. Grounded in data of a single exploratory case study, they investigate " made-it-points, " defined as the entrepreneurial threshold whereby INVs undergo a transition from emergence to the professional management stage (Zahra and Filatochev 2004). to get to a " made-it-point, " Turcan and Juho find the entrepreneurs to " create, re-create, conceptualize and re-conceptualize, contextualize and re-contextualize the type and the elements of their venture…to generate new value-creating strategies " . In other words, the entrepreneurs experiment with their venture at organizational, business model, and operational levels. These experimentations are essentially fueled by the need for Change and innovation related to ownership structures, business propositions to the market, and product development processes. A second perspective in understanding the growth and the sustainable competitive advantage over time of international entrepreneurial and innovative ventures is the model of business adopted. The linkages of this topic to the innovation, international-ization, and entrepreneurship nexus have been outlined in a special issue of the Journal of Management and Governance in 2012 (Onetti et al. 2012), which calls for more research in this field. The contribution by Rask offers a fruitful conceptual study in this 112 B. Hagen et al.

There�s two hypothesis in this study. First, there�s positive influence of emotional intelligence on Attitude to Change. Second, there�s positive influence of transformational leadership (Idealized Influence, Inspirational Motivation, Intellectual Stimulation, dan Individualized Consideration) on Attitude to Change. The measurements of all variables are based on the respondent�s answers and assesments by using Likert Scale toward the statements in the questionnaire. Multiple-regression is applied in this research because there is more than one independent variable. The result concluded that there is significant effect between Inspirational Motivation and Intellectual Stimulation toward Attitude to Change with confidence level by 95% (Sig = 0,001). It means the more positive of Inspirational Motivation and Intellectual Stimulation, the employees Attitude become positively respond and accept Changes. The effect of emotional intelligence, Idealized Influence, Inspirational Motivation, Intellectual Stimulation, and Individualized Consideration toward Attitude to Change is significant with confidence level by 95% (Sig = 0,001). Meanwhile there is no significant effect between emotional intelligence (Sig = 0,966), Idealized Influence (Sig = 0,387), and Individual Consideration (Sig = 0,400) over Attitude to Change.
