Abstract: Based on composition-based view, this paper analyzes the situation of rapid internationalization of firms in emerging market represented by China, and explores the relationship between organizational slack and the speed of internationalization of firms through theoretical analysis and empirical test. It is found that there is a positive relationship between organizational slack and speed of internationalization. In addition, environmental munificence negatively moderates the relationship between organizational slack and speed of internationalization, and the degree of organizational ambidexterity positively moderates the relationship between organizational slack and speed of internationalization. The study brings the time dimension into the process of internationalization through a dynamic perspective, and empirically tests some of the elements in the composition-based view, which can be used as a reference for emerging market firms to formulate appropriate internationalization strategies according to internal resources and external environment.

Key words: composition-based view, organizational slack, emerging market firm, speed of internationalization, environmental munificence
