Our study addresses an inconsistency in the literature on whether a lack of knowledge in early internationalizing firms is an obstacle or an advantage. We integrate learning, capabilities, and improvisation literature to reveal how case firms from New Zealand and Finland internationalize early under uncertainty and time pressure. We develop a process model and propositions to show how firms develop improvisation capabilities and subsequently rapidly acquire the international business knowledge that can explain early internationalization. Improvisation and the associated rapid learning complement the learning advantage of newness with an alternative explanation for early internationalization.

动态即兴创作能力作为早期国际化企业的学习机制

我们的研究解决了文献中关于早期国际化企业缺乏知识是障碍还是优势的不一致问题。我们整合学习、能力和即兴创作文献，揭示新西兰和芬兰的案例公司如何在不确定性和时间压力下尽早实现国际化。我们开发了一个流程模型和建议，以展示企业如何发展即兴创作能力，并随后快速获取可以解释早期国际化的国际商业知识。即兴创作和相关的快速学习通过对早期国际化的另一种解释补充了新鲜感的学习优势。
