The Growth Challenge of Western SMES in Emerging Markets: An Exploratory Framework and Policy Implications
Get PDFIn this paper, we explore the main inhibiting factors associated with the
process of entry and escalation of SMES in international markets, with a
focus on Emerging Markets. We identify and propose seven main categories
of Institutional Voids and three main types of resources that may
critically determine SMES’ performances on EMS, namely, internationalization
knowledge, social capital resources and marketing capabilities. Institutional
Voids and resources are brought together within a conceptual
framework suggesting that resource-scarce SMES will hold back in their
attempts to commit further to Emerging Markets and will be further dissuaded
the higher the Institutional Voids in the market. The paper contributes
to the policy literature on SME internationalization by focusing
on two areas of public policy action that could have a clear and manifest
impact on SMES conduct in Emerging Markets, the first related to the resources
available to and exploitable by SMES and the latter associated with
Institutional Voids

La giustizia penale come servizio pubblico: completare la “riforma Cartabia"
No full textAfter outlining the basic philosophy of the so-called Cartabia reform, the author focuses on the
acknowledgement that its implementation is not done with the entry into force of Legislative Decree
150/2022. The construction site is actually still open and requires numerous interventions (legislative
and organizational) to be brought to completion. Therefore, the wish is that we do not think of a
“reform of the reform” - starting with “procedural statute of limitation” (improcedibilità) - but of a
rigorous finalization (certainly accompanied by correctives), which also passes through a serious
reflection on the desirability of adopting - after thirty years - an amnesty as a necessary reset of the
system
On the relationship between firm size, resources, age at entry and internationalization: the case of Slovenian SMEs
Get PDFExport marketing and international business literature support the view that firm size–a reflection of number of employees, and sales–is positively related to export intensity and is a distinguishing factor between internationalized and non-internationalized firms. According to the resource-based view heterogeneous resource profiles that enable firms to achieve competitive advantage in international markets may be also such differentiating factors. On the other hand, as a result of the process of globalization and the increasing number of born global firms, firm age at entry into foreign markets is becoming negatively related to internationalization. Our findings just partly confirm the trends above. Using a regression model on the selected sample of 247 Slovenian small and medium enterprises, we have confirmed the hypotheses that internationalized companies are significantly larger (in terms of sales) and have more specialized resources (human, organizational, and financial resources) than non-internationalized companies. Organizational and human resources and the number of employees were positively and significantly related, while the age of companies at the start of their international activities was negatively related, to the extent of companies’ internationalization. Different implications and conclusions for researchers and entrepreneurs are derived
