“…Linking the SEW perspective with traditional internationalization models enables us to delineate a research model investigating the impact of international market knowledge (the firm's knowledge and understanding of foreign stakeholders, rules, norms, and values associated with international markets, and its accumulated internationalization experience gained through international operations) (Eriksson, Johanson, Majkgård, & Sharma, 1997), collaboration intensity (the strength and frequency of any formal and informal relational interaction via personal meetings, cultivation of close relationships, and informal communication) (Lin & Germain, 1998), and network trust (the willingness of a party to be vulnerable to the actions of another party based on the expectation that the other will perform an action important to the trustor, irrespective of the ability to monitor or control that other party) (Mayer, Davis, & Schoorman, 1995) on family firms' multinationality.
