“…Moreover, it was found that NTBFs internationalize faster and more often, and they also do so earlier. As Johnson [Johnson, 2004] finds, while traditional start-ups generally originate as domestic firms and gradually evolve into multinational enterprises, new technology start-ups increasingly begin as already international firms. Therefore, it can be expected that high-tech entrepreneurs will be more international than low-tech entrepreneurs.…”

T he main purpose of this paper is to assess the possible impact of new technology-based firms on the social and economic development of Central and Eastern European (CEE) and Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) countries by analyzing the share of such firms among entrepreneurs and society and by investigating data on their expected growth, innovativeness, and internationalization. The study contributes to forecasting the future effects caused by NTBFs on the economy of CEE and CIS countries. We use pooled samples from 2013-2015 from the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor for: Russia (pooled sample size: 4,030), Hungary (6,003), Romania (6,024), Poland (6,001), Lithuania (4,000), Latvia (4,004), Estonia (6,662), Czech Republic (5,009), Slovakia (6,010), and Kazakhstan (4,205). Most analyses are based on a oneway ANOVA analysis of the differences in the average size of country indicators for the analyzed countries.The research results point to significant differences among the analyzed countries. The share of NTBF

“…Ce nouveau phé-nomène voit le jour à partir des années 1990. Il s'agit des Born Global (Rennie, 1993;Knight et Cavusgil, 1996;Andersson et Wictor, 2003) ou International New Ventures (Oviatt et Mc Dougall, 1994 La question du choix du mode d'entrée des Born Global est relativement peu analysée par la littérature en management international (Johnson, 2004;Freeman et al, 2006). Plus précisément, Freeman et al (2006) soulignent l'importance pour les Born Global de mobiliser le réseau et les alliances pour compenser les contraintes structurelles et managériales des PME (manque d'économies d'échelle, manque de ressources financières et de connaissances, et aversion pour la prise de risques).…”

Cette contribution vise à analyser le choix de s’engager sur les marchés étrangers sous la forme d’entreprises conjointes ou de filiales totalement détenues dans le contexte des PME. Cette recherche s’appuie sur une série d’entretiens semi-directifs conduits sur la période de juillet 2010 à septembre 2010 auprès de 10 PME françaises internationalisées. Nous avons adopté une analyse quali-quantitative comparée (AQQC), méthode initiée par Ragin (1987) et bien adaptée pour étudier un petit nombre de cas, particulièrement dans une démarche comparative. Nous montrons que l’implantation d’une filiale industrielle dans un pays culturellement perçu éloigné de la France se fait par recours à un partenariat local, tandis que les filiales totalement détenues sont le fait de PME s’inscrivant dans un modèle d’internationalisation rapide.

“…Although several studies have attempted to better define the concept of international new ventures (Gabrielsson et al, 2008;Baum et al, 2011), most of the research on this topic to date has focused on the drivers of early firm internationalization (Rialp et al, 2005). Several factors have been identified as influencing the early internationalization of start-ups (Oviatt and McDougall, 1994;Johnson, 2004;Weerawardena et al, 2007): internal firm factors, (i.e., characteristics of the entrepreneurs and firm resources), external factors (i.e., features of the industry and the competitive environment), and facilitating factors. According to Zucchella et al (2007), location-specific factors, such as presence within a cluster or a district, might positively impact early firm internationalization.…”
