Teadusseminar "Boosted by failure? Entrepreneurial internationalisation as a cyclical learning process" (Niina Nummela)

How entrepreneurial firms learn from failure and how it is reflected in their nonlinear internationalisation process? We conducted a longitudinal multiple-case study of six internationalising SMEs. We found that nonlinear internationalisation and experiential learning are tightly intertwined processes. In this process, particularly ‘near-failures’ resulting in discontinuities are important as they trigger the need to learn and thus fuel the process. Learning from success is not as powerful as positive experiences do not motivate to alter the body of knowledge in the firm. Our research also highlights the role of the entrepreneur or entrepreneurial team as important gatekeepers of experiential learning.
