Abstract
The key problem for commitment to international business activities
is the limited knowledge of a host country. A firm’s host country experience
and its history of entry patterns in other countries shapes entry preferences into
a foreign country (Pan and Tse, 2000; Chung and Enderwick, 2001; Yiu and
Makino, 2002; Li and Meyer, 2008). In the past decade, scholars became aware
of the effect of a specific kind of international experience within the firm: the
immigrant effect (Chung and Enderwick, 2001; Tadesse and White, 2008;
White and Tadesse, 2008; Madhavan and Iriyama, 2009). The present paper
reports on the role immigrants fulfil in foreign entry plans and how their
involvement relates to the outcome of the foreign entry go/no-go decision.
Findings confirm that among the firms that continue in entry, the presence of
immigrants in the firm is relatively high. But, and this is unexpected, the same
is true for firms that cancel entry plans (Oortwijn, 2010a).
