Social finance and banking with an embedded social purpose have been on the rise in recent decades. Social entrepreneurs have repeatedly stressed the critical need for financial support from social banks. This study aims to provide a bibliometric analysis of the status of the field in social finance and banking, recognising main topics from existing research and establishing future re-search challenges. Our study used science mapping workflow and multiple research questions to investigate the broad literature about social banking and finance. With in-depth bibliometric analysis, authors examined qualitative and quantitative variables as primary research infor-mation, relevant sources, subject areas, authors data, social, thematic and intellectual structure. The data was retrieved from Web of Science (WOS) and then analysed using Bibliometrix R-package. The analysis was based on a sample of 270 articles and demonstrates a multidisciplinary vision of the research flow investigated. Our results show several insights regarding journals, authors and geographical interest of this research stream. Specifically, the literature, although dwelling on social finance and banking, includes five theoretical and practical clusters as (1) people’s well-being, combined with technological innovation, (2) governance, (3) ethical investment and sustainable development, (4) corporate social responsibility (CSR), and (5) transparency. The authors also note a line of research that observes technological solutions for the response to social and environmental problems. These results may be useful for researchers, practitioners, and policymakers to foster social finance and financial system tools.

“…SMEs' evolution towards collaboration is both a reality and a crucial mechanism that deals with the global solutions demanded by customers in their own countries, as well as in foreign markets. Non-participation in collaborative processes leads to consequential inefficiencies in enterprises' readiness to deal with globally expanded dynamic markets [13], which raises enterprises' awareness of the need to be prepared to collaborate with network partners. Given the importance of this new trend, setting up collaborative process has been studied well in recent years [1].…”

The Influence of Collaboration on Enterprises Internationalization Process

2022

At present, competitive globalized environments force enterprises to make more effort to both set up collaborative processes among networked partners and open their borders to the internationalization process. With this participation in internationalization processes, a set of barriers emerges that enterprises must overcome, particularly SMEs. The internationalization barriers are classified in four main dimensions, namely, strategy, technology, partners and product, which are considered to establish relationships between the internationalization and the collaborative processes. Accordingly, the research objective is to analyse the extent to which collaboration with international partners facilitates the internationalization process. A research survey was held with Spanish manufacturing SMEs to assess the internationalization of operations by establishing collaborative processes in global networks. Two surveys were conducted to analyse collaboration and internationalization concepts, and the influences among them: (i) a first survey, designed to validate the posed hypothesis about the relation between internationalization and setting up collaborative processes; (ii) a second survey, devised to perform a descriptive analysis that identifies less-applied collaborative processes in SMEs by establishing internationalization activities. The study results reveal that collaboration positively influences the internationalization process, and identifies the collaborative processes that are less performed among the partners that internationalize their operations.

“…As for the framework of international strategies, there are several modes of entry into international markets, which we can classify as export entry mode (direct export or indirect export), contractual entry mode (licensing, franchising, technology transfer or resource skill human rights, service contracts, patents, production contracts, infrastructure supply contracts, subcontracting or turnkey contracts) and foreign direct investment entry modes (acquisitions, strategic alliances or joint ventures) [88][89][90].…”

“…When companies choose t internationalize it depends on the chosen strategy, some offer more control, more risk more investments or more commitment to the company and others less [86]. In previou studies, several factors were identified as important for when an SME intends t internationalize, such as strategy, company structure, human resources skills, trust, socia network and orientations both at the business level and at the level from the market [87 As for the framework of international strategies, there are several modes of entry int international markets, which we can classify as export entry mode (direct export o indirect export), contractual entry mode (licensing, franchising, technology transfer o resource skill human rights, service contracts, patents, production contract infrastructure supply contracts, subcontracting or turnkey contracts) and foreign direc investment entry modes (acquisitions, strategic alliances or joint ventures) [88][89][90].…”

Sustainable International Expansion via Cooperation Networks in the Manufacturing Industries

For the manufacturing industry in particular, networks lead to an increasing interaction between different actors representing a complementary response to insecurity arising from internationalization subjects. The aim of this study is to understand how cooperation networks contribute to the international sustainability of the manufacturing industry. To carry out this study, a qualitative methodology was chosen through semi-structured interviews with eight companies in the manufacturing sector from different areas. The interviews were handled with NVIVO software support. Regarding the findings, it is unanimous that cooperation networks are essential for the internationalization of the manufacturing industry. In general, the companies that participated in the study believe that the networks helped to reduce costs and to have access to certain resources that were essential for the success of internationalization. Furthermore, the findings suggest that the size of the country and the low purchasing power were some of the substantial factors that triggered the process of searching for new markets. It also became evident that there are barriers that need to be taken into account at the time of internationalization and that cooperation with other companies can help to overcome them. This study provides empirical evidence on the importance of cooperation networks for the internationalization of companies in the manufacturing industry. Furthermore, this study demonstrates the main motivations, strategies and barriers for these companies to internationalize.
