Özet

This study aims to explain the role of the firms' innovative capabilities and the appropriability regime level (ability to profit from innovations) as potential antecedents of the firms' internationalization. For this purpose, we employ panel least squares with group dummy variables method using a sample which includes 154 firms in 8 manufacturing sectors traded at the Istanbul Stock Exchange (ISE). The research findings show that innovative capability of the firms has major impact on internationalization while appropriability regime is insignificant.
