    Impact of Dynamic Capabilities on Global Mind-set: The Case of ICT Start-ups in Sri Lanka
    (Department of Marketing Management, University of Kelaniya, Sri Lanka., 2021) Jayasuriya, C. H.; Perera, G. A. T. R.
    The purpose of this study is to explore how firm-level dynamic capabilities influence the level of firms’ global mindset in information and communication technology (ICT) startups in Sri Lanka. Based on the literature on dynamic capabilities and global mindset, the impact of dynamic capabilities on global mindset is tested empirically on a sample of 295 Sri Lankan ICT start-up firms using structural equation modeling (SEM) analysis technique to find whether if there is any difference of the impact from sensing dynamic capabilities, seizing capabilities and reconfiguration capabilities on the global mindset. The results show a positive significant impact of the sensing, seizing and reconfiguration capabilities on the global mindset in ICT startups in Sri Lanka. However, among three different but theoretically interrelated capabilities, seizing and reconfiguration dynamic capabilities have shown the strongest impact on the global mindset. This study contributes to the emerging literature of global mindset in the international business and to strategic management literature by understanding the global mindset through the lenses of dynamic capabilities as organizational level contingencies.

    Predicting Global Mindset through Entrepreneurial Orientation: The Case of Information and Communication Technology Born-global in the Context of Developing Economies
    (Faculty of Commerce and Management Studies, University of Kelaniya., 2022) Jayasuriya, C. H.; Perera, G. A. T. R.
    The founders' cognitive element: the global mindset to become global at the inception is mostly absent from the literature on born-global. Furthermore, the scope of research into the impact of entrepreneurial orientation on a born-global global mindset in underdeveloped countries is minimal. Thus, this study aims to explore the influence of entrepreneurial orientation on the global mindset. Using the structural equation modelling (SEM) analytic technique, the research hypotheses based on the literature on entrepreneurial orientation and a global mindset are examined with a sample of 295 Sri Lankan ICT-born-global firms. The results indicate that innovativeness, risk-taking, and proactiveness have a favourable impact on the global mindset in Sri Lankan ICT-born-global. The most important managerial takeaway from this research is that entrepreneurs should work on enhancing their entrepreneurial processes to increase their receptivity to global opportunities.
