Abstract
The paper aims at verifying if, even inside small entrepreneurial multinationals, corporate entrepreneurship favours the development of the firm's knowledge based capital, and if it encourages the extension (diversification) of technological trajectories of the various international units (FDI low or high equity). This study also has the objective of examining the influence of the structure and composition of a technological SME’s (Small and Medium Enterprise) international alliance portfolio. Our findings provide new challenges for both theoretical treatments of small and medium MNEs, for practitioners and for policy makers.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
