Data Assets, Dynamic Capabilities, and Overseas Revenue Growth

Abstract

In the digital economy era, data assets are increasingly becoming an integral part of enterprises. However, the question of how to transform these assets into sustained overseas revenue growth remains largely unresolved. This paper integrates the resource-based perspective, dynamic capabilities theory, and selected findings from international business research to explore the relationship between data assets, dynamic capabilities, and overseas revenue growth. The study argues that data assets do not automatically generate superior international performance; rather, their value realization largely depends on an enterprise's ability to perceive changes in overseas markets, seize emerging opportunities, and restructure organizational resources under uncertain conditions. It proposes that enterprises should move beyond simple data accumulation and cultivate governance-oriented, market-responsive dynamic capabilities. Further empirical research is needed to test the applicability of the proposed framework across different industries and international contexts.
