Abstract

Recent studies shows that international entrepreneurship orientation is recognized as a very important tool for improving corporate performance in international business activities. However, these relationships show various research results. Therefore, it can be a very interesting research topic to examine whether these relationships are linear or non-linear when selected as a target in developing country like China. The purpose of this study is to examine whether the effects of international entrepreneurship orientation on the export performance is non-liner type in China's manufacturing firms. And investigated the moderating role of degree of internationalization and market dynamism relative to the relationship between the international entrepreneurial-orientation and the export performance. A total of 478 questionnaires were used for the hypothesis test. The results of this study are summarized as follows: First, there is a J-shaped. relationship between international entrepreneurship orientation and export performance. Second, degree of Internationalization strengthened the reverse J-shaped relationship between international entrepreneurship orientation and export performance. Finally, degree of internationalization and market dynamics show that J-shaped relationship between international entrepreneurial orientation and export performance is strengthened. The results of the study's theoretical contribution and the managerial contribution is as followed. As a theoretical contribution, it is confirmed that international entrepreneurial orientation (J-shaped) and export performance form a non-linear relationship, and it is possible to make an empirical contribution that can newly approach the relationship between international entrepreneurial orientation and export performance. The managerial contribution suggests that China's exporting companies have a higher degree of Internationalization in their international business activities and that the higher the dynamics of the overseas markets, the more advanced the international entrepreneurial behavior should be required to improve the export performance.

최근 연구를 살펴보면 다국적기업이 국제경영 활동에서 국제기업가지향성은 기업성과의 향상에 아주 중요한 수단으로 인식되고 있지만 이들 관계는 다양한 연구결과를 보여주고 있다. 따라서 개발도상국인 중국 수출기업을 대상으로 선정하였을 때 이들 관계가 선형관계를 미치는지 아니면 비선형관계를 미치는지에 대한 검증은 매우 흥미로운 연구주제가 될 수 있다. 본 논문의 연구목적은 중국 수출기업을 대상으로 국제기업가지향성과 수출성과에 비선형의 영향을 미치는지를 검증하고, 국제화 정도와 시장역동성의 조절효과를 검증하고자 한다. 본 논문의 가설검증을 위해 사용된 설문지는 총 478부이다. 연구결과를 요약하면 첫째, 국제기업가지향성과 수출성과의 관계는 J형 관계인 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 국제화 정도는 국제기업가지향성과 수출성과의 J형 관계를 더욱 강화하는 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 국제화정도가 높을수록 국제기업가지향성과 수출성과의 J형 관계는 강화되고 이러한 조절작용은 시장이 역동적일수록 더욱 강화되는 것으로 나타났다. 연구결과는 다음과 같은 이론적 기여와 경영적 기여를 한다. 이론적 기여로는 국제기업가지향성과 수출성과는 비선형 관계(J형)를 형성한다는 것이 확인되면서 국제기업가지향성과 수출성과의 관계를 새롭게 접근할 수 있는 실증적인 기여를 이루었다. 경영적 기여로는 역동적인 해외시장에서 국제화정도가 높은 중국기업은 수출성과의 향상을 위해서는 국제기업가지향성 행위를 지속적으로 실행해야 한다는 것을 시사한다.
