	abstract = {Purpose {\textendash} We wanted to find out how infant multinationals originating from Poland enact opportunities in Sub-Saharan African (SSA) countries.
Design/methodology/approach {\textendash} We conducted a comparative case study of four Polish firms operating in SSA.
Findings {\textendash} We found that when entering SSA, studied firms employed effectual decision-making logic. Thus, their internationalization was means-driven, serendipitous, partnership-oriented, based on the {\textquotedblleft}affordable loss{\textquotedblright} principle and focused on shaping opportunities in SSA, rather than predicting, analyzing and planning any firm-specific assets or capabilities.
Originality/value {\textendash} We illuminated the nature of the means employed in effectual internationalization and the role of partners ({\textquotedblleft}effectual stakeholders{\textquotedblright}) in this process. Thus, we contribute to a deeper understanding of how infant multinationals navigate extreme uncertainty in the emerging SSA markets.},
