The importance of dynamic capabilities in the post North African market survival of African SME international new ventures (INVs)
Research and empirical evidence concerning the post-market entry survival of African SMEs remains
scarce. Even scarcer is research examining the internationalization behaviors of African SME
international new ventures (INVs). This study addresses these gaps by exploring the
internationalization behavior of Zambian SME INVs to North Africa. Additionally, the study examines
the key factors that determine the post-entry survival of African SME INVs. Drawing on a dynamic
capability perspective we identify entrepreneurial initiatives and developing networks, niche market
and product focus, along with transformation and renewal of existing capabilities as critical
capabilities that enhance the post-entry survival of African SME INVs.
