Extending the international new venture phenomenon to digital platform providers : A longitudinal case study

2018

People increasingly interact with services enabled by digital platforms. This has been a consequence of the digitalization of artifacts, which has transmuted traditional businesses into digital forms. With the increasing digitalization and modularization of services, digital platforms have given many digital service providers possibilities to scale globally, and to rapidly transcend national borders by serving multi-sided markets. However, we still know very little about how digital platform providers actually internationalize their services, or how they make their platforms available for global markets. In this paper, we contribute to the increasing literature on digital-based INVs, examin…

Internationalization of family-controlled SMEs from the process, network and socioemotional wealth perspectives

2016

Perheyritysten kansainvälistyminen on saanut vähän huomiota kansainvälisen liiketoiminnan tutkimusalalla. Tämä laadullinen tapaustutkimus tarttuu tähän tutkimusaukkoon ja lähestyy teemaa jopa perheyritysten kansainvälistymistutkimuksessa itsessään suhteellisen vähälle huomiolle jääneiden näkökulmien kautta: prosessi, verkosto ja sosioemotionaalinen vauraus (socioemotional wealth, SEW). Tämä tutkimus tarjoaa vastauksia siihen, kuinka perheiden kontrolloimat pk-yritykset rakentavat kansainvälisiä verkostoja, minkälaisia ulkomaiset verkostosuhteet ovat ja missä määrin SEW selittää yritysten kansainvälistymistä. Jotta tutkimustavoitteilla olisi heijastuspintaa, tutkimusta varten tehtiin kattava…

Geographic, cultural, and psychic distance to foreign markets in the context of small and new ventures

2015

Abstract More often than one might expect, small and new ventures, which already suffer from few resources and a lack of industry legitimacy, take on the additional uncertainties of entry into foreign markets. Some of these foreign entries involve countries that are geographically distant and culturally different from the firm's home country, making foreign market entry all the more difficult and uncertain. Recent studies have criticized prior academic approaches to understanding these difficulties. Insights may be limited if one uses merely the concept of distance and looks primarily for main effects. Entry by new and small ventures into distant foreign markets is complex, and the factors …
