An Empirical Study on Technology Characteristics and International Performance in Born-globals in Accordance with CEOs' international experience

Increased attention has worldwide been given to Born-globals pursuing the rapid intemationalization from their inception. In spite of the limited resources, born-globals have entered in the global markets successfully and then improve their international performances. Using a survey of 317 born-globals, this study designated technology characteristics as determinants of international performances as well as investigates empirically the relationships between technology characteristics in born-globals and international performances. According to the results of the study, firstly, except for utilizing IT, all sub-variables of technology characteristics have significant effects on international performances. Finally, it was found that CEOs' international experience perfectly mediated the relationship between technology characteristics (e.g. utilizing IT, technological capability, technological imitation, technological innovativeness, and technological standards) and international performances. Above results indicate that if bom-globlas would not have unique and differentiated technology characteristics and CEOs' support based on their international experiences, they could not improve international performances.
