Abstract

(VF)S’inscrivant dans les recherches récentes, qui soulignent l’importance des ressources et compétences spécifiques pour l’internationalisation des nouvelles entreprises, cet article teste un modèle binomial négatif sur un échantillon de 520 nouvelles entreprises de hautes technologies du Royaume-Uni et d’Allemagne. Les résultats montrent que l’expérience internationale passée des entrepreneurs facilite la pénétration rapide des marchés étrangers et, plus encore, lorsque l’entreprise créée manifeste une intention stratégique délibérée d’internationalisation dès l’origine. Cette recherche fournit une des premières études empiriques reliant l’influence de l’équipe entrepreneuriale à une forte probabilité de réussite à l’international des entreprises de hautes technologies.(VA)Extending recent research on the importance of specific resources and skills for the internationalization of start-ups, this article tests a negative binomial model on a sample of 520 recently created high technology firms from the UK and Germany. The results show that previous international experience of entrepreneurs facilitates the rapid penetration of foreign markets, especially when the company features a clear and deliberate strategic intent of internationalization from the outset. This research provides one of the first empirical studies linking the influence of entrepreneurial teams to a high probability of success in the internationalization of high-technology ventures.
