The focus of this volume is the phenomenon of globalization, and
specifically its relevance to and impact on small business and
entrepreneurship. The works presented here stem from a pioneering,
three day conference held at McGill University in Montreal, Canada,
under the joint auspices of McGill's Centre for International
Business Studies, and the Dobson Centre for Entrepreneurial
Studies. Leading international scholars came together to begin
integrating research in what had previously been from widely
divergent fields.
The book presents four sections covering: theoretical overviews
of the emerging field of international entrepreneurship; the use of
alliances and networks to facilitate the entry of small businesses
into the global arena; the results of three empirically based
research studies designed to better understand the market forces
and managerial characteristics which appear to underlie the success
of SME's in the global arena; and visionary contributions on forces
which will shape the successful international firm of the future.
The diversity reflected in this volume and the common thread which
unites the work calls for new strategic approaches by small firms,
large firms, and governments alike. This work will help readers to
better understand and anticipate the dramatic changes coming, and
to design appropriate corporate strategic responses.
