In this Chapter, theAuthors introduces a numberof terms and models that students will study in more detail in Chapters 2 through 13. Stress the importance of students paying careful attention to theconcepts introduced in this Chapter so that they are well grounded in the strategicmanagement concept before proceeding further.This Chapter's Opening Case discusses the changes taking place in the telecommunications industry and the effects of these changes on the industry's competitive landscape.Opening Case A New World Order in the Telecommunications industryThe Federal Communications Commission voted to allow foreign companies increased accessto the U.S. market.A World Trade Organization Agreement saw 69 countries agree to open theirTelecommunications markets.Countries of the European Union are deregulating their telecommunications markets andpreviously protected franchises are now open to foreign and domestic competition.Emerging markets such as China present significant opportunities to telecommunications firmsfrom around the world.The ability of firms to compete successfully in this new competitive landscape, will bedetermined by their abilities to marshal (meaning: control and organize) vast amounts of resources. As an example, in 1996, therequired investment in the global telecommunicationsinfrastructure was $ 160 billion, an amountthat seems small compared to the $ 1 trillion opportunity in China alone. And vast investmentsalso will be required to maintain competitive technological parity throughout Europe and Asia aswell as in the U.S.As implied by the Chapter title---strategic Management and Strategic Competitiveness---and illustrated by the discussion of changes taking place in the telecommunications industry, the primary purpose ofthe strategic management process is to enable firms to achieve strategic competitiveness and earn above-average returns. An in-depth discussion of international (global) strategies will be found in Chapter 8.Definitions:strategyStrategic competitiveness is achieved when a firm successfully formulates and implements a value-creating strategy. By implementing a value-creating strategy that current and potentialcompetitors are not simultaneously implementing and that competitors are unable to duplicate the benefits of, a firm achieves a sustained or sustainable competitive advantage.Above average returns represent returns that exceed returns that investors expect to earn from other investments with similar levels of risk (investor uncertainty about theeconomic gains or losses that will result from a particular investment). In other words, above average-returns exceed investors' expected levels of return for given levels of risk.. So long as a firm can sustain (or maintain) a competitive advantage, investors will earn above-average returns.Teaching suggestion: Point out that, in the long run, firms must earn at least average returnsand provide investors with average returns ifthey are to survive. If a firm earns belowaverage returns and provides investors with below-average returns, investors will withdraw their funds and place them in investments that earn at least average returns.Strategic Management Process is a framework that can assist firms in their quest for strategic competitiveness, it is the full set of commitments, decisions and actions required fora firm to systematically achieve strategic competitiveness and earn above-average returns-This process is illustrated in Figure 1-1 .The dynamic nature ofthe strategic management process is indicated by feedback linkages among the three primary elements: strategic inputs, strategic actions and strategic outcomes.Strategic inputs, in the form of information gained by scrutinizing the internal environment and scanning the external environment are used to develop the firm's strategic intent andstrategic mission.Strategic actions are guided by the firm’s strategic intent and strategic mission, and are represented by strategies that are formulated or developed and subsequently implemented or put into action.Strategic outcome is the result of a firm’s strate gy implemented. A desired strategic outcome---strategic competitiveness and above-average returns---result when a firm is able to successfully formulate and implement value-creating strategies that others are unable to duplicate.Feedback links the elements ofthe strategic management process together and helps firms continuously adjust or revise strategic inputs and strategic actions in order to achieve desired strategic outcomes.This Chapter also will discuss two approaches to the strategic management process. The first,the industrial organization model, suggests that the external environment should be considered asthe primary determinant of a firm's strategic actions. The second is the resource-based model, which perceives the firm’s resources and capabilities (the internalenvironment) as critical linksto strategic competitiveness. Following the discussion in this Chapter, as well as in Chapters 2and 3, students should see that these models must be integrated to achieve strategicCompetitiveness.THE CHALLENGE OF STRATEGIC MANAGEMENTAs noted in earlier comments, all firms--and managers--are challenged to achieve strategic competitiveness and earn above-average returns. And, the challenge can be formidable. A primary challenge facing managers today is the need to recognize--as illustrated by the comments on such firms as IBM, Union Pacific, Honda and The Limited--that the strategic management process and the striving for strategic competitiveness takes place in a dynamic global economy. As a result of this ongoing struggle, success today does not necessarily equate with success tomorrow.Honda has had to make major changes to survive in the global automobile market. In its attempt to make its flagship Accord more sporty, it found that the car was too small to satisfy the expectations and not sporty enough to satisfy Japanese buyers. As a result, it has designed the Accord around a ``world car'' design with alterations to meet different market expectations. Its U.S. Accord is now larger, the Japanese model is smaller and contains more ofthe high-technology features desired by Japanese buyers and a smaller European version has been introduced.TABLEI-1 Top Ten Wealth CreatorsAs shown in Table 1-1, Coca-Cola and General Electric continue to lead the least of wealth creators forthe second consecutive years they have created more wealth (measured by market value added) than other U.S. firms. However, The balance ofthe listing indicates the shifting nature of success for the other firms.Since 1992, Microsoft has improved from number 14 to number three on the list.Intel has leaped from number 74 in 1992 to the number four position in 1997.While the other changes in the list have not been as dramatic as those reported for Microsoft and Intel, students should recognize that the dynamics ofthe new competitive landscape have resulted in a shuffling ofpositions for the other firms on the list.The transient nature of strategic competitiveness is pointed out even more clearly when one Realize that only 2 of the 25 largest U.S. industrial corporations in 1900 remain competitive in the 1990s and that four members of 1997's top ten were not among the top ten in 1992.It also should be noted that firms in the global telecommunications industry--including AT&T, Nippon Telephone & Telegraph and WorldCom must be prepared to compete differently than they have in the past ifthey hope to achieve long-term strategic competitiveness. One key to success will be which firms' strategies will represent the best fit between the demands ofthe external environment and the resources and capabilities in their respective internal environments.THE NEW COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPEThis new competitive landscape can be described as one in which the fundamental nature of competition is changing in a number ofthe world's industries. And, the boundaries ofindustriesare becoming blurred and more difficult to define.Consider changes that have taken place in the entertainment and communications industries: Traditional broadcast networks--ABC, NBC and CBS--now must compete with cable networks such as ESPN, A&E, HBO and Showtime as well as with cable systems.Rupert Murdoch's News Corp. (owner ofthe Fox Network) formed a strategic alliance with Tele-Communications Inc (the largest U.S. cable system) to develop a venture that is intendedto control a global web of sports TV networks.Disney's 1996 purchase of Cap Cities/ABC has resulted in a media network that includes a broadcast network (ABC), a cable station (The Disney Channel) as well as motion picture production and distribution, newspapers, magazines and theme parks.Innovative companies such as AT&T, Sony and Microsoft have indicated that they areinterested in participating in this new entertainment-communications industry.The new competitive landscape thus implies that traditional sources of competitive advantage---economies of scale and large advertising budgets---may not as important in the future as they were in the past. The rapid and unpredictable technological change that characterizes this new competitive landscape implies that managers must adopt new ways of thinking. The new competitive mind set must value flexibility, speed, innovation and integration.A term often used to describe the new realities ofcompetition is hypercompetition, a conditionthat results from the dynamics of strategic moves and countermoves among innovative, global firms: a condition ofrapidly escalating competition that is based on price-quality positioning. battles to achieve first-mover advantage and battles to protect or to invade established product or geographic markets (that will be discussed in more detail in Chapter 5).Teaching suggestion; Two primary drivers ofthe new competitive landscape are illustrated in Figure 1-2The New Competitive Landscape1. Technology and technological change●Technology is changing rapidlyTechnology diffuses rapidly, not only across company boundaries but also across national borders.Information technology is changing both rapidly and dramatically.●Knowledge is becoming increasingly important2. The global economyPeople, goods, services and ideas move freely across geographic bordersSignificant opportunities emerge in multiple global marketsMarkets and industries are becoming more internalizedThe Global EconomyA global economy is one in which goods, services, people, skills and ideas move freely across geographic borders.Also, globalization is referred to as the shift toward a more integrated and interdependent world economy. Globalization has two main components: the globalization of markets and the globalization of production.The Globalization of MarketsThe globalization of markets refers to the merging of historically distinct and separate national markets into one huge global marketplace.The tastes and preferences of consumers in different nations are beginning to converge on some global norm, thereby helping to create a global market. The global acceptance of consumer products such as Citicorp credit cards, Coca-Cola, Levi's jeans, Sony Walkmans, Nintendo game players, and McDonald's hamburgers are all frequently held up as prototypical examples of this trend.The expansion of some huge firms creates a global market. Firms such as Citicorp, Coca-Cola, McDonald's, and Levi Strauss are more than just benefactors of this trend; they are also instrumental in facilitating it. By offering a standardized product worldwide, they are helping to create a global market.Markets for industrial goods and materials that serve a universal need the world over such as aluminum, oil, and wheat, the markets for industrial products such as microprocessors, DRAMs (computer memory chips), and commercial jet aircraft; and the markets for financial assets from US Treasury Bills to eurobonds and futures have become global markets. Markets for consumer products are still often to act as a brake on globalization because of the national differences in tastes and preferences.diversity is replaced by greater uniformity, because s ome firms, especially some multinational companies bring with them many of the assets that have served them well in other national markets--including their products, operating strategies, marketing strategies, and brand names-creating a certain degree of homogeneity across markets. Thus, diversity is replaced by greater uniformity.As rivals follow rivals around the world, these multinational enterprises emerge as an important driver of the convergence of different national markets into a single, and increasingly homogenous, global marketplace.Due to such developments, in an increasing number of industries it is no longer meaningful to talk about "the German market," "the American market," "the Brazilian market," or "the Japanese market"; for many firms there is only the global market.The emergence of this global economy results in a number of challenges and opportunities.For instance, many now consider Europe to be the world's largest single market (despite the difficulties of adapting to multiple national cultures and the lack of a single currency).Including the nations that make up the former Soviet Union and the rest of the Eastem bloc, the European economy has a gross domestic product (GDP) of $ 5 trillion with 700 millionpotential customer. In addition, China is seen as an emerging giant that is expected to have a higher GDP (but a lower per capita output) than Japan by 2015 or sooner.In the eyes of many observers, the U.S., Europe and Japan are relatively equal contenders in the race to be the most competitive nation or economic bloc in the 21st century. And, exports are becoming an even more important segment of the economy, especially in the U.S., as indicatedby the following:●42% ofU.S. economic growth was based on exportsExports and imports accounted for approximately 28% of U.S. gross domestic product in1997, up from 21% in 1991The competitive advantage in global technology is expected to drive continued export growth for U.Sfirms into the 21st centuryWhile large firms may commit resources to global markets more quickly than small and mid-size firms, in 1995, over one-half (50%) of U.S. midsize companies were competing inmarkets outsideof the U.S.U.S. firms are successfully penetrating Japan's high-tech, automobile, consumer goods and retailing marketsIn 1995, U.S. exports increased 12 % over 1994, exceeding $800 billionExports are expected to reach the $1trillion level by 1998The largest share of U.S. exports currently go to Europe, Canada and JapanThe fastest growth in demand for U.S. goods and services is projected to be in Asian markets (excluding Japan); from 1996 to 2000, expected annual growth is 12 %.The March of GlobalizationGlobalization is the spread (or diffusion) ofeconomic innovations around the world and the political and cultural adjustments that accompany this diffusion.In essence, globalization seems to have gathered a momentum of its own because of increased levels ofinterdependence among industrialized nations●the needs ofdeveloping countriesthe continuing disintegration or dropping oftrade barriersintensified international integration ofmultiple national opportunitiesfinancial capital may be exported between national marketsmanufacturing equipment purchased in a third nation may be installed in plantsaround the worldraw materials may be sourced from a variety ofnational markets, imported into stillother national markets for production and then finished products exported all over theglobe.The internationalization or globalization ofmarkets and industries often makes itimpractical to classify many firms as purely domestic or foreign. Consider Honda, a majorplayer in the global automobile industry, which recently.●employed some 14,300 people in the U.S,sold 660,000 units in the U.S. (73% were produced in the U.S.)used 75% U.S. content in the cars manufactured in the U.S.purchased $2.9 billion of parts from U.S. supplierspaid $2 1/2 billion in federal income taxesinvested $3 billion on a U.S. research and development centerexported 40,000 cars made in the U.S. to other national markets, including JapanTeaching suggestion; The following Strategic Focus can be used to discuss thedynamics of globalization and the challenges presented to firms.Strategic FocusThe March of Globalization Wal-Mart, China and BeyondWith its recent moves, Wal-Mart is extending its reach beyond its dominant position in U.S. retailing, by exporting its formula for success into global markets..Wal-Mart has purchased Cifra SA, its former joint venture partner in Mexico for $I .2 billion It has expanded its traditional intemational focus beyond Canada and Mexico by opening superstores in Argentina, Brazil, Indonesia and ChinaBut, Wal-Mart is not the only firm that is following the march toward globalization.Motorola has invested $2 billion to develop a fabrication plant in ChinaEnron has entered into a joint venture with Singapore Power to develop power projectsthroughout AsiaCitgo, the largest gasoline retailer in the U.S., is owned by Petroleum de Venezuela.While globalization seems an attractive strategy for competing in the new coinpetitive landscape, there are risks as well. These include such factors as:Building the firm's ability to successfully manage operations in multiple foreignmarketsThe difficulties may accompany venturing into too many international marketstoo quicklyNote; Indicate that the risks that often accompany internationalization andstrategies for minimizing their impact on firms will be discussed in more detail inChapter 8.Because of its economic benefits, it is likely that the trend toward further globalization ofindustries will be unstoppable. For example, using the Europe-U.S.-Japan Triad as an example, free trade is expected to positively impact the Triad with a5 to 10% increase in annual economic outputs ofmanufactured goods and a15 to 20% additional increase in economic outputs from free trade in servicesThis potential for continued economic growth means that all industrialized nations must continue to seek the expansion of agreements--such as the European Union, NAFTA andGAAT--that will eliminate national laws that impede free trade among all nations.As a result of the new competitive landscape, firms of all sizes must re-think how theycan achieve strategic competitiveness by positioning themselves to ask questions from amore global perspective to enable them to (at least) meet or exceed global standards:●Where should value-adding activities be performed?Where are the most cost-effective markets for new capital?Can products designed in one market be successfully adapted for sale in othermarkets?How can we develop cooperative relationships or joint ventures with other firms thatwill enable us to capitalize on international growth opportunities?Companies of all sizes and in all industries will continue to feel continuing pressurefrom globalization, especially as Asian markets continue to develop outside of Japan. And the continuing increase of globalization and the spread of information technology will likely enable other countries to develop their industrial bases as well.As a result of globalization and the spread of information technology, competition willbecome more intense. For example,Customers--even domestic customers--will continue to expect high levels of productquality at competitive pricesGlobal competition will continue to pressure companies to shorten productDevelopment--introduction time framesStrategically competitive companies successfully leverage insights learned both indomestic and global markets, modifying them as necessaryBefore a company can hope to achieve any measure of success in global markets, itmust be strategically competitive in its domestic marketTechnology and Technological ChangeThree technological trends and conditions are significant altering the nature ofcompetition:increasing rate oftechnological change and diffesion●the information age●increasing knowledge intensityIncreasing Rate of Technological Change and DiffusionBoth the rate of change and the introduction of new technologies have increased significant over the last 20 years.A term that is used to describe rapid and consistent replacement of current technologies bynew, information-intensive technologies is perpetual innovation.This implies that innovation--to be discussed in more detail in Chapter 1 3--must becontinuous and carry a high priority for all organizations.The shorter product life cycles that result from rapid diffusion of innovation oftenmay mean that products will become indistinguishable from each other, placing acompetitive premiumon a firm's ability to rapidly introduce new products into themarketplace. In fact, speed-to-market may become the sole source of competitive advantage.The Information AgeChanges in information technology have made rapid access to information available to firms all over the world, regardless of size. Consider how the increase in the numberof relatively inexpensive personal computers (PCs), their linkage throughcomputer networks, cellular phones and the ability to access massive data bases havecombined to increase the speed and diffusion of information and information technologies as well as to turn the ability to access and use information into apotential source of competitive advantage:rapid flow of information and the more efficient management of increased information sharing capability using electronic or e-mailincrease in the number and power (or capability) ofPCs. information-carrying infrastructure available to firms world-wide through theInternet and World Wide Webcompanies being wired to link themselves to customers, employees, vendors andsuppliers around the globetrade conducted on the Internet is expected to increase dramatically from $7.8billion in1997 to $ 105 billion by 2000The continued rapid introduction and diffusion of new information technologies alsomay have interesting implications for firms such as America Online (AOL), as theybattle to both understand and create users' future information access and use needs.To better position itself, AOL acquired its largest competitor, CompuServe, throughan agreement with WorldCom. As a result, AOL has increased its revenues almost 40-fold, from $53 million in 1993 to $2 billion in 1997.Increasing Knowledge intensity.It is becoming increasingly apparent that knowledge--information, intelligence andexpertise--may not only be a critical organizational resource, but may be a source ofcompetitive advantage. As a result:Organizations must improve their ability to transform the accumulatedknowledge of employees into a firm assetShareholder value can be positively impacted by the value of a firm’s intangibleassets, such as knowledge (Note; Intangible assets will be discussed more fully in Chapter 3.)This means that, to achieve competitive advantage in the new, information-intensivecompetitive landscape, firms must move beyond accessing information to exploitinginformation by:●Capturing intelligence●Transforming intelligence into usable knowledge●Embedding it as organizational learning●Diffusing it rapidly throughout the organizationThe implication of this discussion is that, to achieve strategic competitiveness and earn above-average returns, firms must develop the ability to adapt rapidly to change or achieve strategic flexibility.Strategic flexibility represents the set of capabilities---in all areas of their operations ---that firms use to respond to the various demands and opportunities that are found in dynamic, uncertain environments. This implies that firms must develop certain capabilities, including Organizational slacks which affords firms with the ability to respond to environmentalchanges.The capacity to learn continuously, which provide the firm with new skill-sets.Teaching suggestion;Use the text' s example of Coca-Cola's development of aneffective distribution system and the establishment of anchor bottlers--in their globalbottling network--to build the resources and expertise necessary that enable Coca-Cola to enable the strategic flexibility that will enable them to take advantage ofopportunities across a broad range of global markets.Two models describing key strategic inputs to a firm's strategic actions are nextdiscussed: the Industrial Organization (or externally-focused) model and the Resource-based (or internally-focused) model.THE I/O MODEL OF ABOVE ARAGE RETURNSTeaching suggestion; The recommended teaching strategy for this section is to first discuss the assumptionsunderlying the I/O model. Then, use Figure 1-3 to introduce linkages in the I/O model and provide the background for an expanded discussion of the model in Chapter 2.The I/O or Industrial Organization model adopts an external perspective to explain that forcesoutside of the organization represent the dominant influences on a firm’s strategic actions. Inother words, this model presumes that the characteristics of and conditions present in the external environment determine the appropriateness of strategies that are formulated and implemented inorder for a firm to earn above-average returns.The I/O model is based on the following four assumptions:The external environment--the general, industry and competitive environments--imposes pressures and constraints on firms and determines strategies that will result in superior returns.In other words, the externalenvironment pressures the firm to adopt strategies to meet that pressures while simultaneously constraining or limiting the scope of strategies that might be。

互联网加计划英语作文标题,Internet Plus Initiative: A Catalyst for Innovation and Development。
In the era of rapid technological advancement, the Internet has become an indispensable tool that permeates every aspect of modern society. With the introduction ofthe Internet Plus initiative in China, spearheaded by Premier Li Keqiang in 2015, a new wave of innovation and development has swept across the nation, reshapingtraditional industries and fostering the growth of emerging sectors. This essay explores the impact of the InternetPlus initiative on China's economy, society, and technological landscape, drawing insights from both governmental policies and public responses.At its core, the Internet Plus initiative seeks to integrate the Internet with traditional industries,fostering a synergistic relationship that enhances efficiency, promotes innovation, and drives economic growth.By leveraging the power of digital technologies such as big data, cloud computing, and artificial intelligence, the initiative aims to modernize and upgrade traditional industries, propelling them towards greater competitiveness in the global market. Key sectors targeted by theinitiative include manufacturing, agriculture, healthcare, finance, and logistics, each presenting uniqueopportunities for transformation and optimization.One of the most notable impacts of the Internet Plus initiative is its transformative effect on China's manufacturing industry. Traditionally known as the "world's factory," China has long been synonymous with mass production and low-cost labor. However, with rising labor costs and increasing competition from other developing nations, the traditional model of manufacturing is nolonger sustainable. In response, the Internet Plusinitiative has prompted a shift towards smart manufacturing, characterized by the integration of information technology and industrial processes. Through the adoption of technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT) and robotics, manufacturers are able to improve productionefficiency, reduce waste, and customize products accordingto individual consumer preferences. This not only enhances the competitiveness of Chinese manufacturers but also paves the way for the development of high-value-added industries.In addition to manufacturing, agriculture has also witnessed significant transformations under the Internet Plus initiative. Agriculture plays a crucial role inChina's economy, employing a large portion of thepopulation and ensuring food security for the nation. However, traditional agricultural practices are oftenlabor-intensive, inefficient, and environmentally unsustainable. To address these challenges, the Internet Plus initiative promotes the application of digital technologies in agriculture, often referred to as "smart agriculture" or "agritech." Through the use of sensors, drones, and data analytics, farmers are able to monitorcrop growth, optimize resource allocation, and minimize environmental impact. Furthermore, e-commerce platforms and online marketplaces connect farmers directly with consumers, eliminating intermediaries and ensuring fairer prices for agricultural products. As a result, smart agriculture notonly improves productivity and efficiency but also promotes rural revitalization and poverty alleviation.Moreover, the Internet Plus initiative hasrevolutionized the way healthcare services are deliveredand accessed in China. With an aging population and increasing demand for quality healthcare, traditional healthcare systems are facing unprecedented challenges in terms of accessibility, affordability, and efficiency. In response, the initiative promotes the development of "Internet hospitals" and telemedicine platforms, enabling patients to consult with doctors remotely and accessmedical services online. Furthermore, the integration ofbig data and AI technologies facilitates disease prevention, early diagnosis, and personalized treatment,revolutionizing the practice of medicine and improving patient outcomes. By breaking down geographical barriersand leveraging digital technologies, Internet hospitals not only improve healthcare access for underserved populations but also alleviate the burden on traditional healthcare facilities.Additionally, the Internet Plus initiative has had a profound impact on China's financial sector, driving the development of financial technology (fintech) and digital payment systems. With the widespread adoption of mobile internet and smartphones, cashless payments have become the norm in China, facilitated by popular mobile payment platforms such as Alipay and WeChat Pay. These platformsnot only offer convenience and security but also generate vast amounts of transaction data, which can be leveragedfor risk assessment, credit scoring, and targeted marketing. Furthermore, blockchain technology is increasingly being utilized for secure and transparent transactions, revolutionizing traditional banking and finance. By embracing fintech and digital innovation, China's financial sector is undergoing a rapid transformation, empowering individuals and businesses with greater access to financial services and opportunities.Furthermore, the Internet Plus initiative has revolutionized the way goods are distributed and delivered through the development of digital logistics platforms. Traditionally, logistics and supply chain management havebeen plagued by inefficiencies, delays, and high costs. However, with the advent of digital technologies such as big data analytics, GPS tracking, and autonomous vehicles, logistics companies are able to optimize routes, reducefuel consumption, and improve delivery times. Furthermore, the integration of e-commerce platforms with logistics networks enables seamless order fulfillment and last-mile delivery, enhancing the overall shopping experience for consumers. As a result, digital logistics not only reduces costs and improves efficiency but also drives innovation in the retail industry, enabling businesses to reach customers more effectively and expand into new markets.In conclusion, the Internet Plus initiative has emerged as a catalyst for innovation and development in China, transforming traditional industries, fostering the growth of emerging sectors, and driving economic prosperity. By integrating the Internet with key sectors of the economy, the initiative has unleashed new opportunities for businesses, entrepreneurs, and consumers alike, propelling China towards a more digitalized, interconnected, and innovative future. However, challenges such as digitaldivide, data privacy, and cybersecurity remain to be addressed, highlighting the need for continued policy support, investment in infrastructure, and collaboration between government, industry, and academia. As China continues to embrace the opportunities of the digital age, the Internet Plus initiative will undoubtedly play a central role in shaping the country's trajectory towards sustainable growth, technological leadership, and shared prosperity.。

McAfee指南:实施10个步骤的网络安全指南说明书
White PaperTable of Contents1. Develop an Information Security and Risk-Management Regime 32. Secure System Configuration Management Strategy 33. Establish an Anti-Malware Strategy 44. Network Security Strategy 65. Security Monitoring Strategy 7 Summary 8Government is undergoing a transformation. The global economic condition, coupled with explosion of IT capability, and an evolving, persistent threat landscape, has forced a reinvention of the service delivery and business model of the government. This change in business requirements is also forcing a change in how security is perceived and implemented throughout the enterprise.In order for the government to realise the value it can achieve through digital services, the resilience of systems must be assured and enterprises must improve their capability to defend against continuous cyber assaults. The 10 Steps to Cyber Security guidance, produced by Communications-Electronics Security Group (CESG), the information security arm of the UK Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ), represents a template for threat prevention capabilities that will help enterprises tangibly improve their cyber defence capacity and the resilience of their digital systems. This white paper describes the five measures McAfee believes will help an organisation successfully implement the CESG guidance to improve their cyber resilience and security posture.1. Develop an Information Security and Risk-Management RegimeA successful information risk management programme starts at the top of the organisation. Establishing a culture of risk management and accountability ensures that security becomes part of the business and not an afterthought. Secondly, articulating the information assurance policy framework formally anchors the security programme. This framework will include the policies and processes that form a secure, high-assurance foundation for the organisation. The 10 Steps to Cyber Security policy framework, recommended by CESG, should include some of the following key components:• Home and mobile worker.• Acceptable use of government systems.• Malware prevention.• Privileged account management.• Removable media.An associated 10 Steps process framework will include some of the following key components:• Training, certification, and awareness programme for users, operators, and security specialists.• Secure configuration development and patch management.• Incident management programme that includes monitoring and incident response processes.• Penetration testing to assess security processes and control readiness.Finally, incorporating cyber risk factors into business decisions regarding service assurance or new service deployment ensures that security becomes operational in the business.McAfee® Foundstone Strategic Consulting Services, as part of strategic security engagement, can assess the current security programme and guide an organisation through the essential elements of developing an effective Information Security and Risk Management Regime.2. Secure System Configuration Management StrategyEmploying baseline secure configurations of system architecture is an essential component of cyber risk management. However, secure configurations are not static elements. They must be continually reviewed to keep up with threat condi-tions, new business functionality, or policy requirements. A process of Design, Test, Monitor, and Control will enable a secure configuration management process. Typically, the process starts with a system assessment to Design the baseline configuration, added security functionality, and change management process. Baseline configurations are usually available for commercial off-the-shelf operating systems and applications. However, custom web applications and databases may need further testing to develop a secure configuration.McAfee Foundstone Services , as part of a strategic security engagement, can assess the current security configurations, conduct additional penetration testing, and conduct code review for the custom applications.Once deployed, the system should be continually tested for new vulnerabilities and monitored for unauthorised changes to the baseline and any potential intrusions. The 10 Steps to Cyber Security recommends conducting regular scans to assess vulnerabilities using automated tools that support open standards like the Security Content Automation Protocol (SCAP). McAfee Vulnerability Manager and McAfee Policy Auditor solutions support these open standards and facilitate configuration monitoring through the McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator ® (McAfee ePO ™) security management platform. In addition to operating system vulnerabilities, it is important to test web applications and databases. These applications form a critical backbone of most digital government systems but are usually not tested nor monitored regularly as part of this process. Through the same management platform, organisations can also use McAfee Web Application Assessment Module and McAfee Vulnerability Manager for Databases to scan and test these critical applications and systems.Figure 1: Basic secure configuration management reference architecture.One of the most important functions in this process is selecting the additional security controls that will harden the system against a variety of threat vectors. According to the 10 Steps to Cyber Security, the baseline security controls must include the capabilities to restrict removable media devices, conduct regular antivirus scans, and implement data-at-rest encryption. The McAfee ePO security management platform, first employed to conduct vulnerability and configuration assessments, can be now be used to easily deploy those additional baseline security controls.3. Establish an Anti-Malware StrategyMalware is the tool of choice for any cyberattacker and has many potential vectors into an organisation. However, most organisations mistakenly equate anti-malware with antivirus. As malware has become increasingly sophisticated and the attack surface increasingly diverse, a successful anti-malware strategy must include a dynamic capability to Prevent, Detect, and Respond in order to limit the impact of malware as an attack vector.Although not mentioned directly in the 10Steps guide, it is a good practice to identifyand label these critical assets within thesecurity information and event managementsystem. This information on the criticality ofsystems provides essential context duringincident response.Although the 10 Step s guide requiresmanaging and monitoring privilegedusers’ accounts, it is very challenging fororganisations to get granular control andvisibility over the use of administrativeaccounts. Through the McAfee ePO securitymanagement platform and McAfee SecurityInnovation Alliance (SIA) partner Avecto,McAfee makes it easy for governmentorganisations to meet this requirement.Check the McAfee SIA website for moreinformation on the McAfee-AVECTOintegration.A layered defence to malware starts with the user. Although layered defences most often addresses technology, users must be trained to recognise attack methods, such as phishing, and understand where to report suspicious activity. Since many successful attacks often target a specific user, training is an essential anti-malware control. McAfee Foundstone services, as part of a strategic engagement, will design a recurring and accountable user security awareness programme. This programme ensures that both users and specialists become the first and last line of defence against malware. In addition, McAfee Foundstone can provide specialist security training, such as Forensic and Malware Analysis, for the Security Operations and Intelligence Centre (SOIC) analysts.Protecting the user device is the next stage in the strategy. The end-user device baseline security config-uration recommended by CESG already includes antivirus as a first layer of defence. Hardening the end-user devices or servers with additional security capability beyond antivirus, such as application whitelisting and reputation intelligence, will provide an effective defence at the host layer, even against malware that uses zero-day exploits. Security and change events generated at the host should be centrally collected, monitored, and analysed by the SOIC to detect potential incidents. Through the McAfee ePO security management platform, McAfee makes it simple to deploy application controls and enable extended behavioural-based security functions, such as reputation intelligence within McAfee VirusScan ® Enterprise software already deployed at the endpoint. Security events are also collected through the McAfee ePO platform and reported to the McAfee Enterprise Security Manager, the McAfee Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) system, for correlation and incident response services. Although application whitelisting and antivirus are effective prevention tools, malware is a multi-stage attack utilising several vectors into and out of the protected network. A comprehensive anti-malware strategy must include a network capability to recognise malware behaviours on the network and to protect end-user devices that may not support host-based security controls, such as smartphones or tablets. Since the most common delivery and command vector for malware is via the web, it is recommended to deploy web content anti-malware inspection at the Internet perimeter to betterprotect end-user devices or detect behavioural evidence of malware already inside the network. Byemploying the McAfee Web Gateway with its strong anti-malware capability—including sophisticatedcontent emulation, a gateway anti-malware engine, botnet identification, and reputation intelligence—organisations not only increase their resilience against malware but also their agility to adopt newenabling technologies. As with host-security events, events from McAfee Web Gateway should becentrally collected, monitored, and analysed by the SOIC to detect potential incidents.As mentioned, a comprehensive anti-malware strategy involves a people, process, and technology approach.One of the key processes is a breach response strategy that will Identify, Validate, Contain, and Respond tosecurity incidents. When a suspicious event is identified, security analysts in the SOIC must rapidly validate themalware, uncover its characteristics, and find affected hosts in order to contain the impact, such as data lossor further compromise. Having direct access to automated malware analysis tools and real-time data sourceswill greatly increase the speed of analysis and reduce the impact of malicious cyber activity. The McAfeeadvanced sensor grid, including the McAfee Network Security Platform and McAfee Web Gateway, willidentify malware in motion.Today, McAfee uses the McAfee Global Threat Intelligence ™ (McAfee GTI ™) network to quickly sharedetections of emerging malware threats. The McAfee host and network products detect a suspicious fileand contact the McAfee Global Threat Intelligence network to see if it has a reputation. Based on thatreputation, as well as network connection reputation, and other factors, the McAfee products can make a decision to block the file.McAfee ApplicationContro l also enablesthe organisation tomeet other controlsrecommended by the 10Steps to Cyber Security,such as locking downoperating systemsand software. McAfeeApplication Controlcan also be extendedto include real-time fileintegrity checking formonitoring changesto critical systems. Theadditional data providedby Application Controlcan be monitored withinthe McAfee EnterpriseSecurity Manager. Thiswill improve the incidentmanagement programmeby enabling more effectivedetection of breach attempts.McAfee Application Control can also be deployed on embedded operating systems.McAfee Web Gateway also meets the require-ment in the 10 Steps to Cyber Security guide for a proxy at the network perimeter. By extending the web security to include identity controls, an organisation coulddevelop a fuller pictureof user behaviour andmore effective policyenforcement.McAfee is also developing a new integrated, advanced malware detection appliance, called McAfee Advanced Threat Defense. If the content cannot be validated immediately, it will be automatically sent to the Advanced Threat Defense system for behaviour deconstruction and analysis. Advanced Threat Defense will assign a fingerprint to the malicious file and distribute this threat intelligence locally—to McAfee-protected endpoints and network gateways—and, if you permit, that DAT will also be sent to the McAfee Global Threat Intelligence network. Through this intelligence exchange, McAfee products on your site and at other customer sites will be able to protect against this newly identified malware.• The new DAT will allow any infected system to be identified and cleaned by McAfee VirusScan (the scanning engine inside McAfee endpoint protections).• The network security products will block transmission of that content over the network to prevent reinfection within your infrastructure.• The web and email gateways will block inbound reinfections.• The endpoint protections will block infection directly on the host (through an infected USB stick, for example.)• Real Time for McAfee ePO can be used to ensure all endpoints have pulled down the new DAT and run a scan to seeif the malware is present.This combination of sensor, analysis, and automated response is unique in the industry and will greatly reduce the impact of malware on the environment.Figure 2: Basic anti-malware reference architecture.4. Network Security StrategyThe role of network security is expanding and changing with the expansion of digital services in government. Traditionally, network security devices functioned as traffic cops governing which network addresses can pass or which protocols can traverse the Internet perimeter. While still providing that function, the goal of the network security strategy is to Deny, Delay, and Disrupt the ability of an attacker to get in and move around on the protected network systems.To enable this strategy, network security devices have evolved from controlling addresses to identifying and controlling application access across multiple security zones within the enterprise. This is aligned with the 10 Steps to Cyber Security recommendations to protect both the internal and external network boundaries.Dividing the network into logical security zones requires different checkpoints for an attacker. T ypically, one of the internal security zones is the consolidated or shared-services datacentre. An effective datacentre network security strategy requires an application layer firewall for controlling application access and an intrusion prevention sensor to protect the sensitive applications from vulnerability exploitation. Other potential network security zones include partner and cross-domain network interconnections. Each of those connections requires an application firewall to control access, although the risk of vulnerability or malware exploitation is low across these perimeters. The greater concern is the access to, or loss of, sensitive data to unauthorised business or coalition partners. Best practice recommends a network data loss prevention solution be deployed and monitored at these perimeter locations.The adoption of cloud services presents unique challenges for traditional perimeter security solutions. While an application layer firewall provides granular traffic control at the Internet perimeter, many applications are exposed to external cloud services through application programme interfaces. Today, on-premises deployment of a centralised service gateway is recognised as the best practice deployment pattern for the application-to-application, web-based service interaction models. A service gateway enables the organisation to develop a standards-based policy enforcement point that is integrated with internal identity management and auditing/monitoring infrastructure.5. Security Monitoring StrategyWith the sophistication and persistence of malicious cyber activity combined with the complexity of security information, detecting or anticipating a security breach requires an organisational monitoring and intelligence strategy, trained specialists, and a 24/7 SOIC. Developing a monitoring strategy starts with an understanding of attack methods. Using threat intelligence will determine the data sources that are most effective to identify and validate an incident. The monitoring strategy must also reflect other requirements from regulations such as GPG13. Once requirements are established, the data collection architecture can be built to support the various breach response or other monitoring use cases.The 10 Steps to Cyber Security recommends collecting various data types such as network traffic, security events, server and device events, and user behaviour, as the foundation of the monitoring capability. Centralising this data inside McAfee Enterprise Security Manager will facilitate rapid data mining for both identification and validation. The McAfee Enterprise Security Manager easily scales to handle high-volume data sources while still enabling rapid data retrieval for reporting and analysis. One of the key processes of the SOIC is Incident or Breach Response. This is the process of Identifying, Validating, Containing, and Mitigating a cyber incident. A successful strategy also starts with threat intelligence of attack methods to determine what are the most effective indicators. For example, identifying an insider attack usually requires identity and database activity monitoring since these provide the mostlikely indicators. Identifying an attempted breach from an outside attacker usually requires network andhost sensors and automated malware intelligence as described in the anti-malware section. Designingthe sensor grid that will expose the right indicators is one of the key foundations to this strategy. ExistingMcAfee ePO infrastructure can easily be extended to include McAfee Database Activity Monitoring andPrivileged Identity data that supports insider monitoring use cases. McAfee Advanced Threat Defenseand McAfee Web Gateway will reveal indications of remote attackers using malware as the entry vector.Centralising this data and incident workflow within the McAfee Enterprise Security Manager allows forrapid identification and validation of malicious activity.Once a breach is identified, speed of response is critical. McAfee Enterprise Security Manager is a centralcommand and control platform that can adjust policy on the McAfee Network Security Platformto rapidly block malicious files or update security policy through McAfee ePO software to contain anincident at the host level. McAfee FoundstoneServices can design anincident-managementprogramme from policydevelopment, to processemployment throughspecialised training inmalware analysis and attacker techniques. The SIA partner, TITUS, can monitor user behaviour related to data and data policy. TITUS is fully integrated with the McAfee ePO security management platform for deployment and management.

Entrepreneurship_and_strategy_in_the_international_SME1
Entrepreneurship and strategy in the international SMEGary A.Knight*Florida State University,416Rovetta Business Annex,Tallahassee,FL 32306,USAAbstractSmall and medium enterprises (SMEs)have begun to play a critical role in international trade.Statistics from the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD)and other sources indicate that SMEs now account for a very substantial proportion of exports from most industrialized nations.But very little is known about the effect of having an international entrepreneurial orientation,or the role of specific strategies associated with this construct,on the foreign performance of such ing data from an empirical study of SMEs,we devise a structural model that reveals the role of international entrepreneurial orientation,key strategic activities,and the collective effect of these constructs on the international performance of the modern,international SME.These findings and their implications for scholars and managers are discussed.D 2001Elsevier Science Inc.All rights reserved.Keywords:International entrepreneurial orientation;Strategy;SME;Empirical study1.IntroductionInternational business has long been regarded as the domain of large,resource-rich companies (e.g.,Johanson and Vahlne,1990;Root,1994).However,recent evidence suggests that internationally active small and medium-size enterprises (SMEs;defined here as firms with 500or fewer employees,a definition used widely in industrialized countries)are emerging in large numbers and presenting an important challenge to this traditional thinking (e.g.,OECD,1997;Rennie,1993;Rose and Quintanilla,1996).With advances in information and communications technologies,the globalization of markets,and other facilitating trends,more SMEs are active in international markets than ever before (Bell,1075-4253/01/$–see front matter D 2001Elsevier Science Inc.All rights reserved.PII:S 1075-4253(01)00042-4*Tel.:+1-850-644-1140;fax:+1-850-644-4098.E-mail address :gknight@ (G.A.Knight).Journal of International Management7(2001)155–1711995;Craig and Douglas,1996).In numerous countries,such firms are now the driving force for a substantial share of export growth and future economic prosperity (Economist,1993;Gupta,1989).In general,smaller firms are important.SMEs account for over 95%of businesses,create roughly 50%of total value added worldwide and,depending on the country,generate between 60%and 90%of all new jobs (OECD,1997;United Nations,1993).While they historically have not been associated with international business,based on an empirical study of trends in 18industrialized countries,the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD)notes that SMEs now account for about a quarter of exports in most industrialized nations (OECD,1997).Internationally-active SMEs are emerging in notably large numbers throughout the world,and they tend to be more dynamic and grow faster than strictly domestic firms (Bell,1995;Nakamura,1992;OECD,1997;Rennie,1993;United Nations,1993).Since the 1970s,numerous key trends have made going international a more viable option for many such enterprises.To the extent they can be entrepreneurial engines for new technologies,product innovations,and the broader development of nations,the rise of the international SME is a key trend.However,smaller firms usually lack the resources,capabilities,and market power of traditional multinational enterprises (MNEs).Given their relatively low base of resources,compared to their larger rivals,the complexities of international operations tend to be considerably more challenging for the SME.We sought to investigate the international approaches of the modern SME through a two-stage research approach that involved,first,case studies to uncover key postures and strategies that give rise to international performance in new international ventures and,second,a survey-based study of international SMEs intended to confirm the validity of findings from the case studies.Our focus was the fundamentally important posture of entrepreneurship or,more precisely,entrepreneurial orientation,in the international success of the SME.Entrepreneurial orientation emphasizes innovation in the firm’s offerings and processes,risk taking,and a generally proactive approach to business.When applied to international business,an organizational culture characterized by this construct is likely to engender the development and activation of key strategies that give rise to superior performance in foreign markets.Among the most important of these is strategic competence that provides the primary means through which the firm interacts with its external environment.The international environment entails a range of complexities related to differences in culture,political systems,and economics.Marketing skills and other key strategic approaches can allow the resource-constrained smaller firm to achieve superior performance results via manipulation of levers such as research and development,emphasis on quality,product adaptation,and effective distribution.Additional strategies investigated here include the acquisition of technology in order to support product development and adaptation,as well as general preparation to enter complex foreign markets.In the context of increasing smaller firm international involvement,the purpose of this paper is to investigate the above issues,particularly in light of the constructs highlighted above and their proposed contribution to international performance (e.g.,market share and profitability),in the contemporary SME.In the following pages,we first summarize keyG.A.Knight /Journal of International Management 7(2001)155–171156G.A.Knight/Journal of International Management7(2001)155–171157 theoretical perspectives and emerging trends that are improving the chances for successful SME pursuit of new international ventures.We then present the results of an empirical study on these issues and link them to international performance.Finally,we offer discussion on these findings in the context of their theoretical and practical implications.2.Internationalization of the SMEEvidence from Asia,Europe,and North America indicates that increasing numbers of SMEs are involved in international trade(e.g.,Economist,1993;Luostarinen et al.,1994; Nakamura,1992;Rennie,1993;Gupta,1989).Pioneering global start-ups now account for a substantial portion of growth in national merchandise exports in many countries(e.g.,Verity, 1994;Economist,1993;Luostarinen et al.,1994).In recent years,numerous trends have emerged that make exporting and other international involvement a strongly viable alternative for the SME.Widespread usage of fax,e-mail,the Internet,and other such communications technologies is making internationalization a more viable and cost-effective option than just a few years ago(Verity,1994;Oviatt and McDougall,1995).Such systems are providing important competitive advantages to smaller firms,allowing them to efficiently transact business with upstream and downstream channel members throughout the world(Oviatt and McDougall, 1995).Smaller firms are also affected by the forces of globalization,including falling trade and investment barriers,and the far-reaching activities of large MNEs.Increasing cross-national competition is pressuring SMEs to internationalize.This,combined with increasing opportunities to pursue foreign markets and the ability to profit from expanded scale and scope in their operations,has created many incentives for smaller companies to internation-alize(Oviatt and McDougall,1995).Compared to MNEs,smaller companies are unfettered by bureaucracy and expensive existing information systems(Verity,1994;Covin and Slevin,1989;Douglas et al.,1982; Pelham and Wilson,1995).They are often more innovative,more adaptable,and have quicker response times when it comes to implementing new technologies and meeting specific buyer needs(Verity,1994;Carroll,1984;Oviatt and McDougall,1994).With the growing role of direct marketing,globe-spanning transportation specialists such as Federal Express,and buyers with specialized needs,SMEs can increasingly serve niche market segments that span the world(Oviatt and McDougall,1995).The above factors are giving rise to the emergence of a distinctive breed of entrepreneurial firm,capable of succeeding in the highly competitive environment of international trade. However,globalization,advancing information and transportation technologies,and other such trends are largely occurring in the firm’s external environment and are consequently outside of management’s control.In this study,we investigate the role of key orientations and strategies in the firm’s internal environment over which management has considerable control. In particular,we argue for the critical role of international entrepreneurial orientation,as well as other strategic variables.Before delving into these factors more deeply,it is useful to review key theoretical perspectives that can shed additional light on the issues considered here.Resource-based theory implies that differential endowment of organizational resources is an important determinant of strategy and performance.Resources include assets,capabilities,information,knowledge,technologies,and so forth,controlled by the company and enabling it to conceive and implement strategies that improve its effectiveness and efficiency and,in the case of SMEs,to obtain differential advantage in foreign markets (Collis,1991;Porter,1991;Wernerfelt,1984).The most critical resources are those that are superior in use and hard to imitate or supplant (Porter,1991).The resource-based view rests on two key assumptions:(1)Firms within any given industry are heterogeneous with regard to the resources they control and (2)resources are not perfectly mobile across firms and hence,heterogeneity tends to be long-lasting.The theory helps to explain how possession of superior managerial orientations,strategic approaches,and other such factors can serve as important advantages in the international activities of SMEs.Strategic behavior theory posits that firms transact business by whichever mode max-imizes profits through improving their competitive position vis-a`-vis rivals (Hofer and Schendel,1978;Porter,1991).Strategic behavior theory can be used to predict the international efforts of SMEs.Accordingly,companies leverage strategies in order to maximize their effectiveness,their efficiency,or both.Effectiveness is defined as the degree to which strategy-defined outputs correspond to desired outputs,while efficiency is the ratio of actual outputs to inputs (Hofer and Schendel,1978).The goal of strategy is the achievement of superior,sustainable organizational performance (Hofer and Schendel,1978).Strategic behavior theory helps to explain why SMEs might pursue particular strategic approaches in order to avoid competing directly with rivals or to otherwise gain some sort of long-term competitive advantage.We now provide an overview on a conceptual model that emerged in the present study that describes the antecedent roles of international entrepreneurial orientation and key strategies in SME performance in foreign markets.3.International performance in the SMEThe study proceeded in two stages.First,we conducted in-depth interviews with numerous experts to gain a better understanding of SME international performance,distill key constructs,and devise hypotheses about the relationships among these.Next,based on the case studies and a search of relevant literature,we devised a questionnaire and conducted a field survey of several hundred firms in order to validate the constructs and relationships that emerged in the case studies.The unit of analysis was an internationalization innovation,whether reflecting the firm’s first expansion overseas or the entry of an already internation-alized firm into a new foreign market.The approach is rooted in innovation theory as it implies entry into new markets as well as associated innovative development or enhancement of strategies,products,and general business activities in connection with the firm’s new market entry (Thompson,1965;Zaltman et al.,1973).In the sense of entering or creating a new market,the process of internationalization is itself an innovation within the firm (Bilkey and Tesar,1977;Cavusgil,1980;Simmonds and Smith,1968).G.A.Knight /Journal of International Management 7(2001)155–171158G.A.Knight/Journal of International Management7(2001)155–171159In interpreting the in-depth interviews with key informants,several common patterns emerged.The specific results of the interviews indicated that an SME internationalization venture tends to be facilitated by factors that operate at two major levels within the firm that can be framed within the typology devised by Webster(1992)and termed orientation and strategies.The case studies shed light on several orientations and strategies that appear to be particularly salient in the success of SMEs’entry and progress in new foreign ventures. Orientation reflects the firm’s basic culture,that is,the fundamental and dominant pattern of beliefs and values that management emphasizes on a continuous basis to guide the organization.Strategies comprise the‘‘pattern of present and planned resource deployments and environmental interactions that indicates how the organization will achieve its objectives’’(Hofer and Schendel,1978,p.25).Strategies must be pursued in the context of the previous level,that is,orientation(Webster,1992).By definition,a firm’s orientation and strategies are intended to achieve desired performance outcomes.Accordingly,it is possible to frame the case-study findings in terms of a causal chain reflecting orienta-tion!strategies!performance.We termed the specific SME international success factors that emerged in the case studies as international entrepreneurial orientation,which we cast at the firm’s‘‘orientation’’level, and strategic competence,technology acquisition,and internationalization preparation, which we frame at the‘‘strategies’’level.In particular,respondents emphasized the role of having a proactive,international entrepreneurial orientation,as well as the acquisition of appropriate technologies,the leveraging of strategies,and generally being prepared to enter foreign markets.A conceptual framework that highlights these factors and summarizes the proposed relationships among them is presented in Fig.1.Our view based on the case studies is that international entrepreneurial orientation is a fundamental corporate posture,contributing strongly to the international performance of the SME.It emphasizes innovation,risk taking,and a generally proactive approach to business in foreign markets.We frame it as a basic firm orientation because it is relatively enduring and exists at the level of managerial beliefs and values.The case studies suggested that international entrepreneurial orientation is among the most important‘‘orientation’’success factors in the overall performance of international SMEs and tends to drive various key strategies,noted above.Strategic competence is critical because it is the primary means through which managers interact with consumers in local markets.It is especially important in international markets where various environmental parameters pose special challenges to the entering firm.Our case studies also uncovered international preparation and technology acquisition as additional key strategies that help to enhance the effectiveness of international entrepreneurial orientation in the foreign activities of internationally successful SMEs.The interviews suggested that international preparation and technology acquisition also appear to operate as ancillary strategies that augment the firm’s strategic competence.These constructs(Fig.1) are now explained in more detail.International entrepreneurial orientation reflects the firm’s overall proactiveness and aggressiveness in its pursuit of international markets.It is associated with managerial vision, innovativeness,and proactive competitive posture overseas(Covin and Slevin,1989;Daviset al.,1991;Khandwalla,1977;Miller and Friesen,1984).It reflects the firm’s propensity to engage in innovative,proactive,and risk-seeking behaviors in order to achieve competitive and strategic objectives.The innovative dimension refers to the pursuit of creative or novel solutions to challenges confronting the firm,including the development or enhancement of products and services,as well as new administrative techniques and technologies for performing organizational functions (e.g.,production,marketing,sales,and distribution).For example,most key informants described how an entrepreneurial mind-set was critical to undertaking the generally challenging activities associated with entering a new foreign market.Proactiveness is the opposite of reactiveness and relates to aggressive posturing relative to competitors,with emphasis on execution and follow-up of tasks in pursuit of the firm’s objectives.Risk seeking involves the planning and implementation of projects entailing significant chances of costly failure (Davis et al.,1991;Khandwalla,1977;Miller and Friesen,1984).Numerous case-study managers emphasized the importance of being willing to take risk in launching foreign ventures,especially to psychically distant countries.More generally,entrepreneurial orientation is a fundamental posture,potentially applicable to any firm and instrumental to strategic innovation (Covin and Slevin,1991;Miles and Snow,1978;Miller and Friesen,1984).Studies have found a positive association between entrepreneurship and expansion of strategic activities (Davis et al.,1991;Miller and Friesen,1984),and between entrepreneurship and organizational performance (Covin andSlevin,Fig.1.Proposed conceptual model with entrepreneurial orientation as a key performance antecedent in the international SME.G.A.Knight /Journal of International Management 7(2001)155–171160G.A.Knight/Journal of International Management7(2001)155–171161 1991;Miller and Friesen,1984;Snow and Hrebiniak,1980).Management at substantially entrepreneurial firms may be more inclined than others to create and activate strategies and tactical maneuvers with a view to maintaining or improving performance.This notion appears to be true for companies operating in foreign markets as well as at home.Internationalization preparation entails various preparatory activities such as the conduct-ing of market research,the commitment of resources to international marketing operations, and the adaptation of products to suit conditions overseas.While international market research seldom guarantees correct decisions,it usually improves the firm’s chances for success by a substantial degree.Market research allows the firm to plan for a successful venture,or reveal disqualifying problems before any investment is made(Wiedersheim-Paul et al.,1978;Wind et al.,1973).Internationalization preparation also implies the development and commitment of substantive human and financial resources to the needs of the foreign market entry.The venture is unlikely to succeed in the absence of sufficient managerial commitment that is demonstrated in largest part by the human and financial stly, internationalization preparation implies adapting products as needed to suit specific con-ditions abroad.While firms should generally strive to standardize their offerings as much as possible within the context of a global strategy(Yip,1992),there are usually some,basic modifications that must be made to fine-tune the product for local consumption.As with other types of ventures,appropriate preparation is a critical ingredient in foreign market entry (Bilkey,1982;Kacker,1972).This is particularly true in resource-poor SMEs that may lack the means to sustain a prolonged entry process or one the fails in the early stages due to insufficient market research or other such grounding.Strategic competence denotes the skill with which management performs key strategic functions—R&D,quality product development,marketing,and distribution—that direct the flow of goods to foreign buyers.Various theoretical perspectives suggest that firms use this competence to create market imperfections with the intent of maximizing strategic and financial performance(e.g.,McKee et al.,1992;Porter,1991;Yao,1988).Goal alignment can be achieved through superior seller compliance with buyer demands.The more the goals of the seller are in line with those of the buyer,the higher are the transaction costs for the buyer to seek alternative sources of supply(McKee et al.,1992;Yao,1988).Moreover,it appears that the SMEs in this study were relying on strategic competence to help improve their competitive position relative to competing firms and forces in their target foreign markets. Overall,the companies investigated here appeared to be leveraging the competence in order to maximize the effectiveness and efficiency of their international operations.Accordingly, the construct is in line with strategic behavior theory(e.g.,Hofer and Schendel,1978;Porter, 1991).Because foreign markets usually involve various uncontrollable challenges not present in the home market,strategic competence may be especially salient to international success in resource-constrained SMEs.Technology acquisition refers to efforts by management to acquire technologies that will augment the firm’s ability to compete in international markets,via the creation of superior products and/or processes.Improved technology is widely regarded as a critical,fundamental lever for allowing firms to innovate and respond to changing conditions in their external environment(e.g.,Kotabe,1990;Miles and Snow,1978;Porter,1990;Szymanski et al.,1993).In international business,firms typically must develop or tailor wares to suit the demands of new market opportunities or meet stricter product standards,or harmonize products to make them more universally desirable (Douglas and Craig,1989;Geroski,1989;Toyne and Walters,1993).Thus,companies may need to invest in R&D to upgrade and accelerate their innovative capabilities (Kotabe,1990;Porter,1990).Acquired technology also may be used to increase the level of automation in manufacturing or processing.Technology acquisition that allows the firm to compete more effectively,increase operational efficiency,or launch products that better satisfy customer needs can have a favorable effect on market share and overall performance (Porter,1990;Szymanski et al.,1993).International performance comprises traditional measures of the money-making activities of the firm,including market share,sales growth,and return on investment.Performance isthe firm’s raison d’eˆtre and healthy performance provides an incoming stream of resources that management can channel back into the organization’s ongoing activities.In the absence of sustainable,satisfactory performance outcomes,the firm will not survive and hence,performance is the single more important dimension of its overall operations.4.MethodPrior to conducting a survey-based study to address the issues highlighted above,we first conducted a series of case studies with experts on SME internationalization.This was done in order to uncover key constructs and associated relationships.Conducting cases as a prelude to survey-based research is important because it provides grounded,qualitative evidence on the existence and importance of key variables.Case studies are useful for investigating emergent phenomena and for deriving appropriate constructs and explanations.In total,in-depth interviews were conducted with 23individuals,reflecting five business academicians who are experts in international business,seven international trade experts from government and the private sector who specialize in new foreign market entry,and 11senior managers of SMEs active in international markets.It was believed that these experts from a variety of backgrounds could lend substantial external validity to the development of key constructs and relationships.The interviews typically lasted about 45minutes and were audiotaped unless the interviewee objected.They covered topics centered on revealing key postures and strategies that give rise to superior international performance in new international ventures among internationally active SMEs.Consistent with Webster’s (1992)typology,we were primarily interested in uncovering key orientations,strategies,and tactics in the international market entry of the SME.In the next phase,a cross-national field survey was conducted with international SMEs across a range of industries.The questionnaire was developed partially using extant measurement scales and was assessed in a pretest of 100firms.The resulting,refined questionnaire was mailed to the CEOs of 800randomly chosen manufacturers in industries reflecting electronic and electrical equipment and components,textile mill products,apparel,and related products.These industries were chosen because they are strongly global and have been affected by the forces of globalization (cf.Morrison and Roth,1992;G.A.Knight /Journal of International Management 7(2001)155–171162G.A.Knight/Journal of International Management7(2001)155–171163 OECD,1997;Porter,1986).In a subsequent analysis,these industry groupings were compared on key variables such as number of employees per firm,annual sales volume, minor versus dominant position in industry,early versus late industry entrant,and firm performance.As no differences were found(P<.05),industry factors are not expected to affect study results.The study sample was drawn from a nationwide database of SMEs.The questionnaire was sent in three separate waves,each about2weeks apart,and participation was solicited by means of an incentive consisting of an offer to donate money to the respondent’s favorite charity.This procedure resulted in the return of268usable questionnaires,a response rate of about32%.On average,responding businesses had341employees and average annual sales of around US$100million.To assess nonresponse bias,responding firms were compared to a random sample of50nonrespondents regarding number of employees,annual revenues, founding year,and four-digit SIC code.No significant differences were found(P<.05)and thus,nonresponse bias is not expected to affect study results.4.1.MeasuresAll questions were presented in the form of7-point scales to ensure maximal respondent specificity.To assess international entrepreneurial orientation,respondents marked an eight-item scale developed by Khandwalla(1977),Miller and Friesen(1984),and refined by Covin and Slevin(1989).Strategic competence was assessed using a collection of items devised for this purpose by McKee et al.(1992).Because no standard instrument was available to measure technology acquisition or internationalization preparation,new scales were developed following the procedure suggested by Churchill(1979)and Gerbing and Anderson (1988).Finally,the scale for international performance was developed in part from items used by Cavusgil and Zou(1994).To assess the construct validity of study scales,all measures were tested and refined using confirmatory factor analysis(Anderson and Gerbing,1982).Data were analyzed using LISREL8(Jo¨reskog and So¨rbom,1993),which allows for specifying,estimating,and evaluating hypothesized relationships among a set of constructs and their associated measurement variables.Two measurement models comprising relations among the observed variables and theoretical constructs were created and tested.The models attained adequate fit (CFI .93;GFI .87;IFI .93;NNFI .91)and all path coefficients were significant at.01 level or better,indicating satisfactory convergent validity.Results of modification indices tests revealed that no indicator cross-loaded on any construct that it was not intended to measure and thus,satisfactory discriminant validity was obtained on all measures as well (Steenkamp and Van Trijp,1991).Finally,all multi-item measures achieved superior or adequate reliability scores in tests using Cronbach’s alpha(Nunnally,1978).The alpha values ranged from.64to.81.The measure for strategic competence obtained the low alpha(.64),but could be argued to be a reflective scale.This would imply that conceptual rather than data analytic considerations regarding space coverage and face validity should be the criteria for evaluating the measuring ability of this scale.Reliability
