While innovation is linked to international expansion of firms, our understanding how output and input innovations affects internationalization speed is incomplete. This study examines the impact of innovation intensity on three dimensions of speed. Using panel data, the following hypotheses will be tested:
Hypothesis 1: There is a positive relationship between innovation intensity and the speed of exporting intensity.
Hypothesis 2: There is a positive relationship between innovation intensity and the speed at which a firm increases its resource commitment to foreign activities.
Hypothesis 3: There is a positive relationship between innovation intensity and the speed at which a firm increases the scope of locations where it actively operates.
