Sunk internationalisation : small firms and global knowledge

Abstract: [fre] Ce papier aborde tout d'abord les raisons pour lesquelles les petites et moyennes entreprises sont absentes des théories des relations internationales. Cette absence n'est pas due au hasard et renvoie fondamentalement à l'attitude particulière des théories traditionnelles envers la PME. Selon ces approches, la firme est isolée de son système de relations et par conséquent du système de division du travail dans lequel elle s'inscrit. Les conditions nécessaires à la construction d'une théorie générale, app… Show more

“…Die Beziehungen zu anderen Unternehmen des Netzwerkes, die diesen Zugang ermöglichen, stellen somit einen Bestandteil der Ressourcen dar, auf denen die Internationalisierung der einzelnen Unternehmung basiert (Björkman/Forsgren 2000, 13). Der Zugriff auf eine vorhandene breite Basis an Erfahrung und Wissen innerhalb des Netzwerkes ermöglicht einen schnelleren Markteintritt (Grandinetti/Rullani 1994, 238-241, Tavakoli/McKiernan 1999.
