Download or read book SME Internationalization Strategies written by Noémie Dominguez and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2018-03-15 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Internationalization is a strategic issue for companies as it is today the central axis for the development of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Market expansion and the growing importance of emerging markets offer new development opportunities for SMEs to use innovative strategies - such as head-deck strategies - to effectively penetrate these markets. This book focuses on understanding these new strategies. Why do SMEs use head-of-bridge strategies in order to internationalize? How do they deploy such strategies abroad? Based on the example of five manufacturing SMEs, which are at different stages of internationalization, this book highlights the main motivations, stages of deployment but also difficulties encountered in this direction. This book is a tool for assessing potential locations and provide managers with a new alternative in terms of internationalization, enabling rapid identification of key stakeholders, adapting their international development plan and anticipating potential pitfalls.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The concepts of innovation and export are traditionally considered in isolation, both within companies and within the support organizations dedicated to them. As a result, within this broad research field, very little academic work has focused on how to implement their relationship at an operational level. This book proposes a joint diagnostic tool for SMEs, highlighting good practices to be mastered in order to simultaneously improve innovation and export performance, in the form of a virtuous circle. Innovation and Export focuses on the integration of innovation and export into the strategic management of SMEs, for which the use of synergies is a powerful lever to overcome any difficulties in mobilizing significant resources.

Download or read book Internationlisation of SMEs written by Kris Boschmans and published by Primento. This book was released on 2013-01-23 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The international development of SMEs is an important growth vehicle for the Belgian and European economies. Yet far too few of them actually dare to take the step required. Does this mean to say that they should see internationalisation as a given? No, of course not! Internationalisation has a significant impact on companies’ decision-making and managerial processes. The risks involved need to be covered and the right form of funding found. There are numerous public measures in place aimed at supporting businesses in their efforts. The aim of “The Internationalisation of SMEs” is to inform business-owners about the various aspects of internationalisation and to provide them with practical answers about the ways they can find funding and cover themselves against the risks they incur. It also draws up a list of the public support measures designed to support Belgian SMEs in their projects abroad.

Download or read book Les nouveaux d fis de l internationalisation written by Jean-Louis Amelon and published by De Boeck Supérieur. This book was released on 2010-04-16 with total page 436 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Le début de cette décennie 2010 implique de penser l'internationalisation de l'entreprise différemment. L'enjeu est d'intégrer les deux ruptures majeures qui ont conclu les années 2000: la crise économique et la crise écologique. La première a précicpité le basculement Nord-Sud. la Chine sort de cette décennie en tant que leader du commerce mondial, les firmes multinationales des pays émergents ne cessent de conquérir des marchés et rachètent à tour de bras des entreprises du Nord fragilisées. La seconde crise va révolutionner les transports, en exigeant de réduire les distances entre les consommateurs et les producteurs, au point que certains parlent de "déglobalisation". Comment s'adapter à ces changements qui transforment le monde actuel ? L'internationalisation reste plus que jamais une réponse stratégique pertinente pour accroître la performance et lutter dans un univers ultra-concurrentiel. Mais l'appréhension des outils stratégiques traditionnels doit être entièrement à l'aune de ces mutations de l'environnement international. Cet ouvrage propose une telle relecture autour de quatre parties clefs allant des mutations de l'environnement à l'émergence de nouveaux risques, en passant par la réflexion stratégique et les questions cruciales de financement et de performance. Le livre s'adresse autant aux étudiants d'universités ou de business school intéressés par les questions internationales qu'aux professionnels qui souhaitent réactualiser leurs connaissances dans un contexte fortement évolutif.

Download or read book Open Internationalization Strategy written by Nadine Tournois and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2021-02-22 with total page 347 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Open internationalization is a concept that brings a new perspective on the process of firm internationalization. As theories of internationalization show, some companies expand abroad only on their own, known as closed internationalization, while others combine their resources with those of other firms or use their networks for facilitating foreign implantation, known as open internationalization. Parallel to the development of the well-known concept of open innovation, open internationalization can be conceived as a meta-model for understanding companies’ expansion abroad. This book gathers a selection of contemporary research works dedicated to open internationalization, either seen as a way to analyze expansion in foreign countries, or as a way to investigate the management of geographically dispersed activities. All the authors of the chapters are researchers specialized in the internationalization field. Readers will benefit from this new lens for understanding, studying or practising international business, from the decision to go abroad to its implementation and its efficiency. Open Internationalization Strategy includes both academic empirical investigations and literature reviews on specific topics, making it valuable to researchers, academics, managers, and students in the fields of business and management history, international business, organizational studies, and economics.

Download or read book Latin America s Emergence in Global Services written by René A. Hernández and published by UN. This book was released on 2014 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Business services have been one of the fatest growing export areas in emerging economies over the past decade. The spread of information and communication technologies and the rise in trade liberalization have facilitated the global unbundling and offshoring of services activities from advanced to developing countries, including those in Latin America. This offshoring has gradually evolved into more sophisticated forms of business process outsourcing. Several countries in the region are now in the process of further upgrading their services exports to participate in knowledge process outsourcing, which includes research and development, product development and more advanced vertical functions and activities in the value chain. The empirical and analytical insights in this volume document how several countries in Latin America have entered the offshore services sector both through the attraction of multinational companies and the internationalization of domestic service suppliers. The future of the offshore services sector in Latin America will depend on its ability to upgrade its knowledge- and skill-intensive product offerings. This will call for the development of domestic technical capabilities, the adoption of renewed industrial policies, the promotion of backward and forward linkages, and the continued upgrading of human capital and information technology-integrated manufacturing.

This book was released on 2011-04-05 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cet ouvrage présente l'évolution des stratégies d'internationalisation des entreprises, dans le cadre de la globalisation. Si, pour certaines entreprises, ce contexte génère des menaces, il est pour d'autres un réservoir de formidables opportunités de croissance. Dans un contexte de craintes de nouvelles délocalisations d'emplois vers les pays à bas salaires et de dégradation de la balance commerciale, l'ouvrage vise à étudier les modalités stratégiques d'internationalisation des entreprises. Les auteurs analysent de façon précise les stratégies d'exportation, de création d'entreprises à l'étranger, de fusions-acquisitions et d'alliance. Deux problématiques spécifiques de l'internationalisation sont également explorées : celle des PME et celle des entreprises de services. Dans chacun des chapitres, les auteurs mettent en évidence les évolutions des stratégies, en insistant sur le rôle joué par la nationalité de l'entreprise et son secteur d'activité. Les résultats des recherches les plus récentes sont exposés et les stratégies mises en oeuvre sont illustrées par de nombreux cas très concrets. L'ouvrage s'adresse aux professeurs, chercheurs et étudiants des grandes écoles de management et des universités de gestion et d'économie. Il intéressera également les managers et les cadres désireux de mieux comprendre les changements de comportement stratégique des entreprises.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Economic Transition and International Business brings together academic experts in International Business and sheds new light on the international phenomenon of transitions in the worldwide economy. It includes both academic investigations as well as in-depth empirical studies. The purpose of the book is to investigate how international transitions reshape the environment, as they reallocate and renew activities, and create new strategies for actors and stakeholders. It provides essential insights into a number of contextual changes that organisations are facing internationally, and is structured around three complementary themes. In the first part, recent economic and financial crises are analysed and presented as revealing transitions for the business world. In the second part, the impact of these transitions is assessed at the level of various key economic players in today’s societies (states, business networks, companies, associations, etc.). In the third part, certain decision-making and managerial transitions are retained to illustrate the new deal linked to international transitions. This book is recommended reading for scholars and students in management and economics, as well as international business managers. They will find insightful information, either theoretical or practical, including various countries impacted by socio-economic transitions.
