Abstract

It is important for marketers to understand how innovators respond to the introduction of new products. This paper investigates consumer innovativeness (CI) from meta-analysis study as suggested by Nasution and Garnida [2011] and examines the simultaneous impacts of CI on new product adoption. Nasution and Garnida [2010] proposed three different perspectives in conceptualizing the CI model. First, the generalist stream that represents a generalized personality trait that engenders consumers to adopt new product. Second, the particularist stream that focuses on product adoption behavior within a specific domain of interest. Third, the integrator perspective that proposes to integrate these two streams by putting domain-specific innovativeness as a mediating factor in relationship between general innovativeness trait and new product adoption.A structural equation model is used to test hypotheses using empirical data from 607 respondents in electronic products adoption. The result shows that the integrator perspective provides the best model in representing the empirical data. The finding of the integrator perspective reveals that domain specific CI mediates the relationship between general innovativeness trait and new product adoption. Specifically, subjective knowledge and hedonic idea shopping enhances the actuality of new products.The findings provide an explanation to the less than consistent relationship between consumer innovativeness and new product adoption. However, a single research context of electronic products and student sample may become one of the limitations and future studies needed to replicate the perspective of CI in different research contexts for greater generalizability and the use of non-student sample. The findings have implications for the innovation adoption theory, for managers involved in the introduction of new products, and for future research on innovation adoption.

Abstract

Manuscript type: Qualitative paper Research aims: To explore the factors influencing the recognition of international opportunities among entrepreneurs in emerging markets, focusing on small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Design/methodology/approach: This study employs multiple case studies, investigating six Indone- sian SMEs in the creative industries. Research Findings: Entrepreneurs often recognize international opportunities through serendipi- tous events such as encounters with local agents, communications with foreign clients via Google Ads/Facebook Ads, invitations from government entities, and referrals from acquaintances. These international opportunities are often acknowledged based on prior business experience from initial internationalization, the use of social and business networks, and digital marketing strategies. While initial expansion into the global market was impromptu, subsequent entries became deliberate strate- gies involving social and business networks, previous international experience, and digital marketing platforms such as TikTok Shop, Facebook, and Instagram. Theoretical Contribution/Originality: This study provides a comprehensive understanding of how SMEs in emerging markets recognize international opportunities, emphasizing the role of serendipi- tous events and digital marketing in the internationalization process. practitioner/policy Implication: Policymakers and practitioners should support SMEs in leverag- ing digital marketing platforms and building strong social and business networks to enhance their recognition and pursuit of international opportunities. Research limitation/Implications: The study is limited to Indonesian SMEs in the creative indus- tries, which may impact the generalizability of the findings. Future research could investigate similar dynamics in other sectors and emerging markets to validate and extend these insights.
