title = {Drivers and strategies of international new ventures from a Central European transition economy},
year = {2013},
note = {This paper contributes to SME internationalization theory by offering
region-specific propositions on early internationalization of Central
and Eastern European (CEE) firms. We suggest that special treatment of
international new ventures from CEE transition economies is justified
due to constraints faced by their founders, particularly not only
limited financial resources but also relatively low human and social
capital. We propose that some of the region-specific drivers which
contribute to early internationalization involve domestic market entry
barriers and arbitrage opportunities related to the higher purchasing
power of consumers from developed economies. Additionally, we find
that in order to overcome resource limitations, CEE international new
ventures apply effectuation and bricolage to exploit controlled
resources and flexibly adapt to the market situation.},
