Abstract: This study distinguishes between international exploitation and international exploration and extends the literatures on dynamic internationalisation capability by introducing absorptive capacity as a moderator. This study empirically examines the research framework using survey data from 211 manufacturing firms in Taiwan. Informants' (CEOs, vice presidents, senior managers) knowledge about and shouldering of firm responsibilities is explored. The findings confirm previous studies that claim a positive relationship among overseas market orientation, dynamic internationalisation capability, and international performance. In addition, the results indicate that absorptive capacity positively moderates the relationship among overseas market orientation, international exploration and exploitation. This study contributes to both dynamic capability and international marketing strategy literature by extending recent studies through investigating the relationships between overseas market orientation, dynamic internationalisation capability, absorptive capacity, and international performance.
