Abstract	"Exporting is a familiar and yet complex internationalization strategy used by many firms to tap into foreign markets. While prior research has delved into how firms expand abroad and improve their performance by doing so, certain aspects of firms' export behavior remain still poorly understood. How do firms learn to improve export performance? How do firms learn by exporting beyond productivity and technological innovations? And how do digital technologies facilitate firms to internationalize early and rapidly? This dissertation seeks to provide answers to these questions by going beyond the traditional boundaries of learning that underpin exporting. Chapter 2 distinguishes between learning to start exporting and learning to improve export performance. By drawing from the strategic human capital literature it conceptualizes how prior work experience of employees encompassing both knowledge and skills but also habits and routines shape hiring firms' export performance. Chapter 3 brings new insights into the learning-by-exporting effects by introducing mechanisms that explain how exporting allows firms to improve the way they organize their activities and introduce organizational innovation while considering domestic market contingencies. Chapter 4 adopts a business model perspective to explore the role of digital technologies for early and rapid internationalization. By conceptualizing digital technologies in terms of value creation, delivery, and capture, this chapter provides new insights into how their different roles enable firms to follow a rapid internationalization path. Overall this dissertation develops several important theoretical insights into the mechanisms that underpin firms' export behavior." The study refers to the period 1998-2018.
