| Abstract: | This empirical research investigates the sharing and protecting knowledge mechanism used by global companies while collaborating with a local partner in IT Services sector in an emerging economy. The results reveal the combination and effectiveness of knowledge protection mechanisms used by the global firms when they cooperate with the local firm in the emerging economy. This research contributes, first, to literature on collaboration between global and local firms on emerging economy markets by showing 1) that global companies are able to share and protect their knowledge when they collaborate with local firms, and 2) that global companies and local firms are able to learn from the cooperative project to increase their innovation capabilities. The research contributes, second, to coopetition literature by showing that managing the coopetitive dilemma between sharing and protecting knowledge is also a concern for companies cooperating with potential competitors. |

| Abstract: | Emergence of a Vibrant Innovation Ecosystem: Rapid penetration of digital technologies over the last two decades has ushered in business innovations in both incumbent firms and in startups. By the end of 2020, India found its place among the top four countries with a vibrant startup ecosystem with 36 unicorns. Confluence of Enabling Factors: A confluence of enabling factors of technology, talent, capital and supportive policy environment has led to the growth of the start-ups through the introduction phase (2006-2010), early growth phase (2011-2015) and accelerated growth phase (2016-2020). Growth of Indian Start-up Ecosystem: Venture capital investments of $ 19.85 B went into 3,442 firms funding innovations during 2006-2020. The investment of $3.9 B in 2006-2010 grew by 65% to $6.4 B in 2011-2015 period and further by 48% to $9.5 B in 2016-2020 period. Ecommerce and Fintech sectors received larger share of the investments contributing 11 of the 36 unicorns.Accelerating Innovation led Economic Growth: An enabling environment to further accelerate innovation led growth requires continuous focus on key enabling factors: (a) Technology-ensuring affordable digital technology access to rural population, adoption of deep technologies across start-ups (b) Talent - designing innovative mechanisms to attract and support talented entrepreneurs (c) Capital - accelerating investment flows by triggering investment-innovation-investor returns spirals in multiple sectors and (d) Policy Support-formulating proactive supportive policies with a fifteen year and five year planning horizon focussed on all round development of the rural economy leveraging novel technologies; providing institutional support to exploit global market opportunities involving industry and academe. |

| Abstract: | This article aims to determine whether pre-internationalization conditions improve the performance of first-time exporting small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Two pre-internationalization conditions are discussed here: firm performance and age at internationalization. Building on the aspiration-level performance model of March and Shapira (1992) with sequential internationalization and international new-ventures approaches, this article develops two research hypotheses proposing an effective alignment with pre-internationalization performance and age at internationalization. These research hypotheses are examined using a panel database of 522 French SMEs that began export operations for the first time in 2014. The statistical results partially support our first hypothesis by showing that early-internationalizing SMEs with a lower performance relative to their peers significantly increase their post-internationalization performance. Contrary to what we predicted in our second hypothesis, we observe that late-internationalizing SMEs, which deliver a much higher performance than their historical aspirations, significantly reduce their post-internationalization performance. |

| Abstract: | This paper studies how foreign direct investment (FDI) affects innovation in the host country, using matched firm-level patent data of Chinese firms. The data contain multidimensional information about patent counts and citations which, together with an identification strategy based on Lu et al. (2017), allows us to measure innovation comprehensively and to uncover the causal relationship. Our empirical analysis shows that FDI has positive intra-industry effects on the quantity and quality of innovation by Chinese firms. We show that these positive effects are driven by increases in competition, rather than by knowledge spillover from FDI which is measured by patent citations between domestic firms and foreign invested enterprises (FIEs). We further investigate the inter-industry effects of FDI and find that FDI has positive vertical effects on innovation in upstream sectors. |
