Journal of International Entrepreneurship. “Digitalization and Servitization in International Entrepreneurship”

The Journal of International Entrepreneurship welcomes submissions for a special issue exploring the creation and deployment of digital dynamic capabilities in the digitized international entrepreneurial ventures enabling to enter and compete effectively in the rapidly expanding online global marketplace.

The purpose of this special issue is to shed new light on how international entrepreneurial ventures (IEVs) support customer demands and requirements in international markets by developing digitalized and/or servitized business models and their respective impacts on their international growth and performance. We invite researchers to submit conceptual and empirical papers on issues addressing digitalization and servitization in IEVs. Specifically, this issue invites papers that advance knowledge on the micro-foundations that deploy DDC and digitalized business models under which a service logic emerges, develops and is implemented by IEVs, especially for those not born in the on-line context. It would be also interesting for papers to further highlight the problems and challenges associated with enacting digitalization and/or servitization in IEVs by the way of DDC deployment and their impact on growth. Other interesting inquiries can address the circumstances in the IEVs’ external environment under which digital and servitized business models are demanded and how external forces interact with internal processes. Multidisciplinary papers are also well received. Consequently, potential topics include, but are not limited to:

  • Levels of analysis of digitalization and DDC in international entrepreneurship research and differences between digital IEVs and non-digital IEVs.
  • Different practices that enhance DDC in the context of digital IEVs and non-digital IEVs and their consequential impact on their performance (e.g. international extent, scope, and speed, international performance, innovation performance).
  • Similarities and differences in digitalization across domestic/international market operations. Conceptual and empirical discrepancies between born-digital IEVs and non-digital IEVs.
  • Defining, adapting, measuring and comparing different digitalised and/or servitized business models in IEVs.
  • Antecedents and conditions that enable or disable the adoption and implementation of digital business models or servitization in the context of international entrepreneurship.
  • Different paths for evolving transition along the product-to-service continuum in the context of IEVs and their impact on their performance.
  • Interactions between servitization and digitalization in response to international opportunities or to global crisis for IEVs.
  • The service paradox in the context of IEVs and the role of digitalization and other internal capabilities to overcome the service paradox.
  • Servitization impact in early and rapid internationalization, and foreign entry mode selection (e.g. Internet; foreign agents and distributors, IJVs, FDI, alliances and/or networks).
