A dominant pattern characterizing both samples, but not reported by original authors, was that incumbent organizations were involved founding ventures. Given this unexpected finding, empirically investigate how being reproduced from...

From Model’s origins, particularly in Penrosean theory, we develop this potential by offering extension explicates organisational changes within firm required to sustain international growth. This repositioning distinguishes us from previous attempts amend, supplant or extend IP Model. In developing extension, specify how remain faithful...
