George Y1 - 2012/11/30 UR - https://pm-research.com/content/16/1/26.abstract N2 - In this article, the authors explore the impact of venture capitalists on new venture internationalization. Based on 18 in-depth case studies, common patterns of how resource provisioning by venture capitalists influences international growth in their portfolio companies are outlined. Slack financial resources and heterogeneous non-financial resources provided by venture capitalists positively enhance the scale of internationalization in new ventures. In addition, the results emphasize a behavioral view of the relationship between venture capitalists and entrepreneurs, wherein the venture capitalist encourages the entrepreneur to strive for fast international growth.TOPICS: Private equity, global, in portfolio management, performance measurement ER -
