Abstract

This paper empirically tests the link between cultural orientation, capabilities of owner-managers and the level of inward internationalisation of African-ethnic restaurants. Data were obtained from 201 African-ethnic restaurants. A twostep approach was used, i.e. (i) a confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) to generate a measurement model; and (ii) a structural equation model (SEM) to test the hypotheses. All the predictor variables are positively and significantly related to the degree of inward internationalisation and the relationshipisstrongenoughtocausea41percent variance. Since it is cross-sectional in design, the study cannot be fully relied upon to draw inferences regarding causality among the variables. The results suggest that owner-managerswhodevelopthethreecapabilities succeedinenhancinginwardinternationalisation.The current study could be among the very few to propose a framework that brings together major managerial (dynamic) capabilities that are presumed to be vital in enhancing inward internationalisation.

Özet

Bu çalışmada Afrika etnik restoranlarının içe dönük uluslararasılaşması ile sahip-­--yöneticilerin kültür odaklılığı, pazar odaklılığı ve servis yenilikçiliği arasındaki ilişkiler görgül olarak test edilmektedir. Çalışma için 201 adet Afrika etnik restoranından veri kullanılmıştır. İki aşamalı yaklaşım benimsenmiştir; (i) ölçüm modelini ortaya koymak üzere açımlayıcı faktör analizi ve (ii) hipotezleri test etmek üzere yapısal eşitlik modeli oluşturulmuştur. Tüm bağımsız değişkenler içe dönük uluslararasılaşma ile pozitif ve istatistiki olarak manidar ilişkiye sahip olmakla birlikte varyansın yüzde 41 gibi önemli bir kısmını açıklamaktadır. Araştırma kesitsel tasarıma sahip olduğu için değişkenler arası nedenselliğe ilişkin çıkarımlar tamamıyla genellenebilir değildir. Sonuçlar, incelenen üç alanda yeteneklerini geliştiren sahip-­--yöneticilerin içe dönük uluslararasılaşmada başarılı olacaklarını işaret etmektedir. Mevcut çalışma içe dönük uluslararasılaşmanın geliştirilmesinde dinamik yeterlilikleri içeren bir kavramsal çerçeve sunan nadir örneklerden biridir.
