Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) play a crucial role in the economic development of national economies and their growing internationalization. The development of information and communication technologies (ICT) has allowed SMEs to break different barriers, be they economic or regulatory, and to move towards more international positions of doing business.

This paper presents an integrated framework for successful product internationalization. It covers the different points of view and different approaches existing in the development team in order to provide a guideline and to broad the horizon to the different dimensions involved in the process. TLCC – Towards a framework for systematic and successful product internationalization

The question addressed in this paper is: Is non-sequential internationalization process solely technology enabled or a product of mutually interdependent forces? It is shown in this paper that even though the sequential approach in the process model is intuitively appealing, not all firms follow such a path. This void is filled by explaining how the international market entry process has change...

On the basis of empirical research, a model of the internationalization process of the firm is developed. The model focuses on the gradual acquisition, integration and use of knowledge about foreign markets and operations, and on the incrementally increasing commitments to foreign markets. In particular, attention is concentrated on the increasing involvement in the individual foreign country. ...

This paper undertakes a brief evaluation of the trends in the internationalization of innovative activities. We provide a taxonomy of R&D internationalization strategies, and discuss the main relevant theoretical and empirical issues, before discussing the centripetal and centrifugal forces underlying the nature and evolution of cross border innovation. We address the issue of international tec...

The literature on organizational learning, innovation and internationalization usually views these three processes as building upon each other. In this paper, however, we aim to clarify these relationships and propose a theoretical model that has mutual causality at its core and is based on ideas originating in complexity theory. Our model results from case study research into two clothing sect...
