Research background: Research on the performance outcomes of different forms of internationalisation has attracted significant attention due to its theoretical and practical relevance. Still, the related findings have remained conflicting. Scholars have argued that companies need to possess or acquire firm-specific advantages (FSAs) to succeed internationalisation. However, a significant part of International Business (IB) research has treated FSAs as enablers of internationalisation, while some have argued that internationalisation in itself only helps firms translate the possessed resources into performance. Purpose of the article: The objective of this study, which is based on the resource-based view (RBV), is to explore the moderating effect of internationalisation on the relationship between FSAs and performance, considering internationalisation degree and firm size as boundary conditions for that relationship. Methods: We carry out statistical analyses on a longitudinal dataset containing 304 novice internationalisers from the post-transition economy of Poland and a total of 1167 firm-year observations. Thereby, we compare SMEs with large firms. Findings & value added: We find that while FSAs do positively affect firm performance, this relationship becomes weaker for higher levels of internationalisation. However, the negative moderating effect of the internationalisation degree becomes weaker for larger novice internationalisers, which are more able to handle the complexity of managing foreign operations.

The goal of this study was to assess the impact of the internationalization on the performance of companies in Poland. This paper adds value to the existing research in three areas. Firstly, it tests the hypotheses of a linear, U-shaped and S-shaped relationship between internationalization and company performance as well as shed additional light on this relationship. Secondly, it verifies the mentioned relationship using data for companies listed at the Warsaw Stock Exchange which are still in most cases on early stage of internationalization. Thirdly, the paper contributes to the discussion about the role of corporate structures in economic development of post-transition economies. The results of our study confirmed that there is the S-shaped relationship between multinationality and performance, however, the precise shape of S-curve obtained in our analysis is different that presented in similar studies.

Celem niniejszego rozdziału jest dokonanie oceny wpływu umiędzynarodowienia przedsiębiorstw na ich rentowność, a także podjęcie próby odpowiedzi na pytanie jak umiędzynarodowienie wpływa na polskie przedsiębiorstwa. Wyniki przeprowadzonych badań potwierdzają S-kształtną zależność pomiędzy badanymi zmiennymi, co jest zbieżne z wynikami innych badań poświęconych temu zagadnieniu, jednakże kształt otrzymanej krzywej jest odmienny niż w dostępnej literaturze poświęconej temu zagadnieniu.
