Francesco Debellis, Alfredo De Massis, Antonio Messeni Petruzzelli, Federico Frattini, Manlio Del Giudice - Despite the considerable increase in studies on international joint ventures (IJVs) and family business, the two research streams have yet to be systemically integrated.

International social SMEs in emerging countries: Do governments support their international growth?

Scuotto Veronica, Del Giudice Manlio, Tarba Shlomo, Messeni Petruzzelli Antonio, Chang Victor - Through an empirical research developed based on a sample of five international social SMEs in a Chinese city, this study examines the internationalization of social enterprises. Its purpose is to evaluate the role played by governments in supporting international growth. This is done using behavioural theory dimensions of prevalence, relevance, urgency, accessibility, and radicalness. From our analysis, local government supports the launch of social SMEs but this is limited to their growth stage. Entrepreneurial skills and external networks, thus, become crucial factors in the development of a new international business development model, encouraging further scholarly investigation.
