摘要
We explain how proactive environmental strategy affects emerging country small-and medium-sized enterprise (SME) internationalization and the contingency roles of foreign institutional environment. A survey of 217 Chinese SMEs reveals the positive effects of proactive environmental strategy on inward-focused and outward-focused internationalization activities. The results also show that foreign institutional pressures influence such effects in nonlinear ways. That is, a medium level of foreign environmental regulatory pressure maximizes the positive effects of proactive environmental strategy on inward-focused internationalization activities, while a medium level of foreign environmental customer pressure maximizes the positive effects of proactive environ-mental strategy on outward-focused internationalization activities.
