Download or read book SME Internationalization Strategies written by Noémie Dominguez and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2018-05-08 with total page 360 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.

Download or read book The Role of Innovations Created in the Internationalization Process for Company Performance written by Adam Dymitrowski and published by Wydawnictwo Naukowe PWN SA. This book was released on 2014 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is commonly believed that innovations are crucial in company's activity. The significance of the role that is assigned to the issue of innovation is confirmed by numerous scientific research studies that indicate the existence of a link between innovativeness and company performance. In terms of the dynamically progressing process of globalization it seems that the relationship between innovation and company performance should be examined in the context of entities participating in international expansion. The process of internationalization may influence the creation of innovations by enterprises and at the same time the achieved results. Despite many literature publications in the field of economics and management, concerning internationalization and innovations, there is a small number of publications describing the influence of internationalization on the innovation activities of enterprises in a comprehensive manner. Likewise, there is no answer to the question on how the innovations created in the process of internationalization influence the results of companies. Due to the identification of a substantial research gap, this book undertakes an attempt at determining the manner in which internationalization affects the process of enterprises creating innovations and ascertaining their impact on company results. The conclusions presented in the book may be used by researchers representing many fields of science and be the subject of interest to the representatives of business practice. In addition, it is one of the few domestic and foreign studies concerning the innovations created in the process of internationalization.
Download or read book The Internationalisation Maturity of the Firm written by Krzysztof Fonfara and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2019-01-23 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the 21st century, even small firms can reach customers located in different, often remote, parts of the world. In fact, internationalisation has become a common phenomenon that affects the majority of companies worldwide. Recent research emphasises that there are numerous determinants of a company’s competitive advantage in the international business environment, including product quality, price, and market knowledge. Much less attention, however, has been paid to the role of business relationships. The task of determining the impact of business relationships on performance poses a considerable challenge. In the book, business relationships are operationalised by a set of characteristics and determinants which influence a company’s competitive advantage. The contributors here refer to these characteristics and determinants as components of the company’s internationalisation maturity. It is argued that a higher level of internationalisation maturity increases the firm’s performance. The book includes both conceptual discussions on the role of firms’ business relationships in the internationalisation process and results of extensive empirical studies. In order to verify the concept of a firm’s internationalisation maturity, a mixed methodology was used, combining quantitative (almost 300 companies) and qualitative (40 case studies) research. As such, the book provides useful insights for academics, students of management and international business, and business practitioners.
Download or read book The Role of Networks in the Internationalization of Management Consulting Firms A critical View on traditional Theory written by Nils Laacks and published by diplom.de. This book was released on 2010-01-13 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inhaltsangabe:Introduction: The French economist Jean Fourastié had already predicted the expansion of the service sector in his early work in 1949. Accordingly, the economies of the developed countries were prognosticated a division into the three major branches agriculture, manufacturing and services with an increasing domination of the latter over time. In fact, the actual growth of the tertiary sector even surpassed Fourastié s expectations. Knowledge-intensive business services constituted the fastest growing sector in Western economies at the end of the twentieth century . Within this group of knowledge-intensive business services management consulting represents one of the fastest growing business models. Before the first economic slowdown in the consulting industry started in 2000, the global market for advisory services had grown at rates between 10 and 15 percent. In Europe, the turnover of the consulting sector rose about twenty-seven percent annually during the second half of the nineties. Growth today represents one of the key success factors in the consulting business and firms have to reach certain growth rates in order to stay competitive. There are mainly two different strategies for enterprises to achieve the goal of prosperous growth. Firms can either follow the strategy of diversification or internationalization. An increasing number of consulting firms decides to expand business activities into international markets in order to stay competitive and take advantage of new possibilities associated with globalization. Empirical studies have shown that the propensity of firms to internationalize not only accounts for large multinational corporations but also for small and medium-sized firms. Therefore, scientists and economists have put attention to the internationalization efforts of management consulting firms. Nevertheless, scientific literature about the internationalization of these business models is still scarce. Most of the existing theories are based on empirical findings that refer specifically to material goods and are thus often criticized for not adequately reflecting the unique characteristics of services. Numerous internationalization theories have been developed during the last forty years. While common theories focus on aspects such as transaction costs or knowledge about a particular market, approaches that are more recent underline the central role of relationships and international networks. In my study, I [...]
Download or read book The Internationalization of Business Networks the Motivation and Process Through which Whole Networks Expand Business Abroad written by Adriaan Beukeleirs and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Current research on networks features mostly firms operating within a network structure and their influence on the network. As a lot of firms now co-operate in this network structure, research could start discussing these collections of firms and how they act in the macro-economic environment. Up until now, very few efforts have been made on this matter. To fill this gap, this study tries to look at how networks as a whole go through the internationalization process. As foundation, we start at the firm-level network models that are already in place and discuss how they can be included in a network-level model on internationalization. The result of the study provides a theoretical model on the motivation behind the networks decision to move business abroad as well as the process itself through which the network could implement activities in a foreign country.
