The Role of International Scope in Driving Innovation
(2024) IBUH19 20241Department of Business Administration
- Abstract (Swedish)
- In the face of an increasingly volatile business environment driven by rapid technological advancements wherein existing processes are rendered ineffective and demand for current offerings plummet, the firm’s ability to innovate becomes imperative to the sustainability of a competitive advantage and firm survival. Previous research within the International Business and Innovation domain as delimited to the post internationalisation stage of the MNE presents fragmented and multifaceted findings on international innovation. Enabled through a longitudinal case study of an educational service-providing MNE, this study contributes to the domain by providing a comprehensive synthesis of how MNEs can leverage international scope to drive...

- In the face of an increasingly volatile business environment driven by rapid technological advancements wherein existing processes are rendered ineffective and demand for current offerings plummet, the firm’s ability to innovate becomes imperative to the sustainability of a competitive advantage and firm survival. Previous research within the International Business and Innovation domain as delimited to the post internationalisation stage of the MNE presents fragmented and multifaceted findings on international innovation. Enabled through a longitudinal case study of an educational service-providing MNE, this study contributes to the domain by providing a comprehensive synthesis of how MNEs can leverage international scope to drive innovation. The empirical results support the mediating role of knowledge-based dynamic capabilities between international scope and innovation. In addition, the results underscore the dynamic nature of such capabilities in response to exogenous shocks. Finally, the study contributes to previous research by introducing the importance of developing a MNE’s dual network- and scaling capability in positively moderating international innovation efforts.
