Exploring the Nexus Between International Perspective, Innovation Resources, and Entrepreneurial Internationalization: A Resource-Based and Behavioral Perspective

This research investigates the nexus between innovation resources, international perspective, and international entrepreneurship, drawing on the resource-based theory and the theory of planned behavior. Leveraging a dataset of entrepreneurial ventures across diverse industries and regions, we employ regression analysis to explore the relationships between these constructs empirically. Our findings reveal significant positive correlations between international perspective and international entrepreneurship, as well as between innovation resources and international entrepreneurship. Moreover, we uncover the moderating effect of economic development on the relationship between international perspective and international entrepreneurship, highlighting the importance of contextual factors in shaping entrepreneurial decisions. However, we find no significant moderation effect for innovation resources, suggesting the need for further exploration. Theoretical implications underscore the importance of integrating resource-based and behavioral perspectives in understanding international entrepreneurial behavior. In contrast, policy implications emphasize the role of fostering innovation ecosystems to support internationalization efforts. Finally, avenues for future research are identified, including longitudinal studies and interdisciplinary approaches to enrich our understanding of international entrepreneurship dynamics.
