초록

This study analyzed the path of global entrepreneurship(GE) and absorptive capacity that affect the export performance of Korean SMEs. Based on the existing entrepreneurship theory and knowledge based view, previous studies were examined and key concepts were derived. The absorptive capacity was divided into exploratory learning(EL), exploitative learning(TL). Six hypotheses were established. In the empirical analysis, the hypotheses test was conducted using the structural equation model using 193 sample of SMEs. The results showed that GE had a significant effect on EL and TL. EL had a significant effect on the TL and export performance, and the TL also had a positive effect on export performance. This confirms that GE and absorptive capacity both have a significant impact on the export performance of SMEs. Based on the results, this study discussed the theoretical implications.

Abstract

In the empirical analysis, the hypotheses test was conducted using the structural equation model using 193 sample of SMEs. The results showed that GE had a significant effect on EL and TL.

This confirms that GE and absorptive capacity both have a significant impact on the export performance of SMEs. Based on the results, this study discussed the theoretical implications.
