The thesis includes two studies that explore the influence of digital capabilities on the internationalization of small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) from both the country-level and firm-level perspectives. The studies also explore how SMEs utilize digital capabilities across different value chain activities and allocate resources effectively to enhance internationalization. The first study focuses on the challenges posed by the country-level barrier (i.e., cultural distance) during the internationalization process. The research aims to examine whether digital capabilities can alleviate the negative effects of these barriers. The second study shifts to the firm-level perspective, by investigating how digital capabilities are used to influence internationalization both within a firm (intra-organization) and across different firms (inter-organization). The study elucidates the utilization of digital capabilities at the organizational level to shape and enhance the depth and scope of internationalization. By addressing these research issues, this thesis aspires to contribute to the multifaceted relationship between digital capabilities and SMEs internationalization.參考文獻 Alberti-Alhtaybat, L.

The studies also explore how SMEs utilize digital capabilities across different value chain activities and allocate resources effectively to enhance internationalization. The first study focuses on the challenges posed by the country-level barrier (i.e., cultural distance) during the internationalization process. The research aims to examine whether digital capabilities can alleviate the negative effects of these barriers. The second study shifts to the firm-level perspective, by investigating how digital capabilities are used to influence internationalization both within a firm (intra-organization) and across different firms (inter-organization). The study elucidates the utilization of digital capabilities at the organizational level to shape and enhance the depth and scope of internationalization. By addressing these research issues, this thesis aspires to contribute to the multifaceted relationship between digital capabilities and SMEs internationalization. en_US dc.description.tableofcontents Chapter 1 Introduction 1 Section 1.1 Research background and research gaps 1 Section 1.2 Research issue and research framework 3 Chapter 2 Literature review 5 Section 2.1 Country-level barriers and SME internationalization 5 Section 2.2 Firm-level barriers and SME internationalization 6 Section 2.3 SME internationalization and resource-based view (RBV) 7 Chapter 3 Cultural distance, digital capabilities and SME internationalization 13 Section 3.1 Introduction 13 Section 3.2 Hypothesis development 14 Section 3.3 Methodology 19 Section 3.4 Result 24 Section 3.5 Discussion 27 Section 3.6 Conclusion 28 Chapter 4 Value chain activities, digital capabilities and SME internationalization 29 Section 4.1 Introduction 29 Section 4.2 Previous related researches 30 Section 4.3 Methodology 32 Section 4.4 Results and analysis 37 Section 4.5 Discussion and proposition 70 Section 4.6 Conclusion 76 Chapter 5 Conclusion 84 Section 5.1 Theoretical contribution 84 Section 5.2 Managerial implication 85 Section 5.3 Research limitation and future research 86 References 88 Appendices 107 zh_TW dc.format.extent 4817964 bytes - dc.format.mimetype application/pdf - dc.source.uri (資料來源) http://thesis.lib.nccu.edu.tw/record/#G0109355504 en_US dc.subject (關鍵詞) 文化距離 zh_TW dc.subject (關鍵詞) 數位能力 zh_TW dc.subject (關鍵詞) 中小企業 zh_TW dc.subject (關鍵詞) 國際化 zh_TW dc.subject (關鍵詞) 價值鏈 zh_TW dc.subject (關鍵詞) Cultural distance en_US dc.subject (關鍵詞) Digital capabilities en_US dc.subject (關鍵詞) Internationalization en_US dc.subject (關鍵詞) SME en_US dc.subject (關鍵詞) Value chain en_US dc.title (題名) 數位能力與中小企業國際化 zh_TW dc.title (題名) Digital Capabilities and SME Internationalization en_US dc.type (資料類型) thesis en_US dc.relation.reference (參考文獻) Alberti-Alhtaybat, L.
