Influences of cognitive dimensions on the collaborative entry mode choice of small-and medium-sized enterprises
Manlio Del Giudice, Ahmad Arslan, Veronica Scuotto, Francesco Caputo - The purpose of this paper is to address internationalisation of small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) by specifically focussing on collaborative entry modes. Despite significant research done on market entry and internationalisation strategies of firms, the use of collaborative entry modes by SMEs during internationalisation has not received a lot of attention. The authors contribute to foreign market entry studies by analysing the influences of cognitive dimensions on collaborative entry mode choice (equity vs non-equity modes) of SMEs in their international markets.
