“…A great number of researchers suggests that FDI inflows in the developing economies favourably related to the openness to trade (Zdziarski, Światowiec-Szczepańska, Troilo, & Małys, 2017). Addison and Heshmati (2003) examined the impact of FDI in almost 50 developing countries using exports and imports as a percentage share of GDP.…”
Section: Drivers Of Shadow Economy and Investment Activitiesmentioning
The objective of the research is to study the link between drivers of the shadow economy and the demand level on the investment market. Research Design & Methods: Based on the Shapiro-Wilk test, the normality of capital investment distribution and the shadow economy level of the European Union countries and Ukraine are evaluated. Spearman and Shapiro-Wilk tests are used to identify the most relevant indicators of impact. Findings: The analysis of the changing dynamics regarding the capital investment volume and the shadow economy level in Ukraine and the EU countries during 2010-2016 shows that there is an inverse link between them-the growth of the shadow economy has a negative impact on the capital investment volume in the country. Implications & Recommendations: This research proves significant influence of the shadow economy on the demand level on the investment market and underlines the necessity to review the current state policy to stimulate the demand on the investment market from the viewpoint of the most relevant shadow drivers. Contribution & Value Added: The scientific contribution of the article is that existing research on the impact of shadow economy on the economic development of countries remains fragmented, as well as studies assessing its effect on a country's investment attractiveness. The constructed econometric model may provide some insight into better understanding of the most influential factors affecting a country's investment attractiveness and the immediate response to it.

“…Entrepreneurs and managers of international new ventures are often unexperienced and despite their mindset for international expansion, they possess limited knowledge and competences (Crick, 2009). Past research confirms that risks from global expansion materialize for many rapidly internationalizing firms, which often do not perform well after initial investments (Barringer & Greening, 1998;Bell, Crick, & Young, 2004) New theoretical approaches like the LLL (linking, learning, leveraging) model of internationalization (Mathews, 2006), springboard perspective (Luo & Tung, 2007), or adventurous internationalization (Zdziarski et al, 2017) are helpful in explaining the logic of internationalization of large corporations from emerging markets. However, the explanatory power of many IB theories is fairly limited in its application to small, entrepreneurial, international new ventures (Phillips McDougall et al, 1994, Coviello, 2006.…”

confidence: 99%
“…The use of external advisors can prove to be a must when a new venture considers a location in a distant and largely unknown country. A distant location, such as one on another continent, is perceived as a risk increasing choice in international business literature (Zdziarski, Światowiec-Szczepańska, Troilo & Małys, 2017). Assessing a case where risks are very high, and internal knowledge is limited, requires appropriate methods of eliciting the knowledge from experts.…”
The aim of this chapter is to show how a structured approach to elicit expert judgement (SEJ) can guide the practice of early internationalization. We applied SEJ to forecast some critical issues upon which an innovative start-up wished to base their decision of whether to expand their initial operations in Poland and Czech Republic to Brazil. 16 participants of an Executive MBA program acted as experts and underwent the procedure for eliciting their judgements. The performance of experts was quantified in terms of the statistical accuracy and informativeness, which combined provided the weight for each expert according to Classical Method methodology. The combination of weighted expert judgments led to improved statistical accuracy and informativeness of the forecast.The procedure demonstrates how entrepreneurs can take advantage of expert knowledge in deciding about risky endeavour when lacking their own experiences and reliable data that can guide their choices.
“…Takva preduzeća najčešće nemaju nadležnost u vođenju prekograničnih poslova. U određenim studijama je naglašeno da je ovaj model internacionalizacije efikasan ukoliko su ispunjeni određeni uslovi (Zdziarski et al, 2017). Prvi uslov podrazumeva da ponuda sa kojom se konkretno preduzeće pojavljuje na međunarodnom tržištu bude autentična i prilagodljiva ciljnoj grupi kupaca na dotičnom tržištu.…”
Section: Osvrt Na Sam Koncept Internacionalizacijeunclassified
The internationalization of logistics activities has become inevitable for many transport and logistics companies that intend to expand their business beyond the borders of the national economy. Thanks to this process, i.e., greater dispersion of the value chain and flow of globally exchanged goods and information, there are changes in the characteristics of logistics systems at the global level. The aim of this paper is to point out, based on a comprehensive analysis of the internationalization process, its close connection with cross-border activities of transport-logistics companies. The paper analyzes the road transport activities, on the example of Turkey, due to their highest visibility within the overall logistics activities of the company. Thanks to the favorable geostrategic position of Turkey and the development of the road network, road transport has become the most widespread mode of transport whose role in the logistics sector and the realization of cross-border activities of logistics companies is growing from year to year.
