Small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are increasingly viewed
as valuable contributors to the global economy, which translates
into their importance in business literature and academic research.
Recent studies suggest that there exists a substantial variety of
international activities pursued by SMEs expanding abroad, with a
prominent presence of early internationalised enterprises,
including born global. Despite the acknowledgement of the
importance of human capital for SME internationalisation, there is
a persistent knowledge gap concerning HR practices in this context.
Until now, researchers investigating the accelerated
internationalisation of SMEs have focused either on the human
capital of decision-makers or selected attributes of employees,
although these have only been at the pre-entry or entry stages.
Thus, activities performed after entering foreign markets remain.
This book attempts to reduce this gap and contribute to the body of
knowledge concerning HR practices in early internationalised SMEs
with an emphasis on the post-entry phase. By taking such an
approach, this volume integrates two streams of research: HRM in
the SMEs and international business. It provides managers of SMEs
with useful information on dealing with
internationalisation-related challenges by means of various
practices including work structuring, recruitment and selection,
training and development, employee appraisal and remuneration, and
performance management. The discussion of these issues is based
upon data from a survey conducted in 200 SMEs and case studies
exemplifying HR practices in early internationalised small and
medium enterprises. It offers academic researchers, postgraduate
students, and reflective practitioners a state-of-the-art overview
of managing human resources in small and medium enterprises
expanding internationally, including both accelerated and
incremental paths.
