Social Capital and Indian Micromultinationals
研究调查了102家印度软件中小企业，发现跨境同族社会资本有助于这些企业成为微型跨国公司（采用高承诺进入模式），而非仅做出口商。
‘Micromultinationals’ are small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that use higher-commitment entry modes beyond exporting. The study extends the micromultinational notion by addressing the question: what enables some internationalizing SMEs to become micromultinationals rather than pure exporters? Adopting a connectionist and bonding perspective, its focus is on cross-border coethnic ties as a valuable source of social capital. A survey of 102 Indian software SMEs indicates that higher stocks of cross-border coethnic social capital facilitate the adoption of higher-commitment entry modes by micromultinationals. Also, micromultinationals have a significantly higher degree of internationalization (the percentage of sales from foreign sources) than pure exporters.
