This research is based on an integrated theoretical approach. Internationalisation
theory is integrated with the resource based view, and a theoretical model is developed
that examines the influence of firm capabilities on the internationalisation and
international performance of publicly quoted companies in Kenya. The study
specifically considers the effect of organisation innovation intensity, knowledge
capability and adaptive capability on the degree of internationalisation and
performance. The proposed model is tested based on data drawn from a survey of
internationalised publicly quoted companies in Kenya. The results show that firm
capabilities have a positive influence on the degree of internationalisation and
performance of a firm. The research provides implication for management practice and
policy and highlights areas for future research.
