Dr Elena Beleska-Spasova's main research interest is in advancing an integrated approach to studying international business phenomena where the internalization theory is complemented with dynamic capabilities perspective and entrepreneurial theory. In this more integrated approach transformational capabilities and entrepreneurial management are incorporated into the internalization theory and coupled with international management perspectives. Globalization is changing the nature of competitive strategies and governance modalities deployed by firms across borders and value chains. In this context there are four interlinked areas of research interest: Dynamic and entrepreneurial capabilities as critical firm-specific advantages driving international expansion and competitiveness. Dynamic capabilities in coordination/integration, recombination and renewal/transformation are of specific research interest as these are deemed to be particularly relevant in initiating and managing cross border operations, i.e. The firm’s ability to coordinate/integrate operations in multiple national settings, transfer and recombine knowledge across its geographically diverse network of affiliates and locations, and reconfigure and renew its resources to adjust to or shape local environments.
