This study begins with the new internationalization practices of Pinduoduo, the fastest-growing mobile e-commerce platform in China, with the growth desperation theory as a perspective. By drawing on grounded theory methods, it explores the motivations and entry modes of internationalization within the broader context of recent Chinese mobile internet companies expanding abroad. This provides a theoretical explanation for traditional internationalization motivation and entry mode theories based on the new phenomenon of Chinese mobile internet platforms. Additionally, using Stata software and event study methodology, the financial performance and stock market performance of Pinduoduo\u2019s new market entry behavior are analyzed.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Findings<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>It posits that when enterprises face pressures related to domestic market growth constraints, they tend to adopt strategic decisions for new market entry to alleviate growth pressures based on new growth opportunities and platforms. During the process of entering new markets, enterprises tend to adopt the \u201cCopy from China\u201d (CFC) model to efficiently replicate the successful experiences in the Chinese market. Market selection for new entries is determined based on psychological distance.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Research limitations\/implications<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>First, the case study provides valuable insights for other mobile internet platforms, but these insights may not be directly transferable to companies in traditional industries; second, directly replicating well-developed business operations and marketing models from the Chinese market to new global markets might face cultural adaptability issues. How could firms balance the general principles of the Chinese internet model with the unique contexts of different global markets will be a crucial focus for future research.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Practical implications<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Pinduoduo\u2019s new market entry strategy represents a microcosm of Chinese mobile internet e-commerce platform enterprises\u2019 international expansion choices, reflecting a significant phenomenon and future trend in Chinese business practices. Against the backdrop of widespread growth bottlenecks in current Chinese mobile internet e-commerce platform companies, adopting the CFC model to explore overseas markets in the future presents an opportunity for companies to expand new growth platforms, offering insights for current business practices.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Originality\/value<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This paper attempts to construct a new theoretical explanation for internationalization with unique characteristics of the Chinese mobile internet industry, based on the integration of \u201cinternationalization theories \u2013 internationalization practice \u2013 comprehensive research methods.\u201d The study enriches strategic literature on the factors influencing new market entry for Chinese mobile internet e-commerce platform companies by exploring how increased growth pressures affect their strategic decisions to enter new markets. Meanwhile, it reveals a new market-entry-mode, the CFC (Copy from China) model, which reflects current trends in the practices of Chinese mobile internet e-commerce platform companies, providing practical insights for the international expansion activities of mobile internet companies in other industries.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1108\/k-01-2024-0027","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,12,3]],"date-time":"2024-12-03T10:55:05Z","timestamp":1733223305000},"page":"1128-1155","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["New market entry of Chinese mobile e-commerce platforms in context of growth desperation\u2013a case study based on Pinduoduo\u2019s internationalization strategy"],"prefix":"10.1108","volume":"55","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0006-2863-1789","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Mengsha","family":"Wang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Business Administration, Dongbei University of Finance and Economics , ,","place":["Dalian, China"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Huiqiang","family":"Ni","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Economics, Dongbei University of Finance and Economics , ,","place":["Dalian, China"]},{"name":"Changzhi University Department of Economics and Management, , ,","place":["Changzhi, China"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"140","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,12,4]]},"reference":[{"issue":"S1","key":"2026012704230658400_ref001","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"99","DOI":"10.1002\/(sici)1097-0266(199707)18:1+&lt;99::aid-smj928&gt;3.3.co;2-2","article-title":"Asset redeployment, acquisitions and corporate strategy in declining industries","volume":"18","author":"Anand","year":"1997","journal-title":"Strategic Management Journal"},{"issue":"5","key":"2026012704230658400_ref002","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"909","DOI":"10.5465\/1556419","article-title":"Effects of age at entry, knowledge intensity, and imitability on international growth","volume":"43","author":"Autio","year":"2000","journal-title":"Academy of Management Journal"},{"issue":"4","key":"2026012704230658400_ref003","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"589","DOI":"10.18196\/jgp.9492","article-title":"Internationalization strategy, entry modes and cultural dimensions of Chinese way of doing business in Europe","volume":"9","author":"Ayanie","year":"2023","journal-title":"Jurnal Studi Pemerintahan"},{"issue":"1","key":"2026012704230658400_ref004","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"7","DOI":"10.5465\/256894","article-title":"International expansion through start-up or through acquisition: a learning perspective","volume":"41","author":"Barkema","year":"1998","journal-title":"Academy of Management Journal"},{"issue":"1","key":"2026012704230658400_ref005","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"99","DOI":"10.1177\/014920639101700108","article-title":"Firm resources and sustained competitive advantage","volume":"17","author":"Barney","year":"1991","journal-title":"Journal of Management"},{"issue":"1","key":"2026012704230658400_ref006","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"31","DOI":"10.2307\/1925556","article-title":"Distance and the pattern of intra-European trade","volume":"28","author":"Beckerman","year":"1956","journal-title":"The Review of Economics and Statistics"},{"issue":"9","key":"2026012704230658400_ref007","first-page":"44","article-title":"Introduce foreign capital or introduce core technology?
