The Dynamic Internationalization Model of Slovenian Born Global SMEs
研究了斯洛文尼亚天生全球化中小企业的国际化过程，通过案例研究构建了一个动态国际化模型，可用于分析转型经济中中小企业的市场行为。
Small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) are important business actors in the Slovenian, as well as European economy. In addition to the current global market conditions, reflecting a severe economic downturn, the SMEs in Slovenia and other transition economies operate under additional extensive external pressures, arising from the opening of their domestic markets. Under such conditions, companies, including SMEs, perceive internationalization as an inevitable, or even urgent step in the process of their business operations. However, companies pursue different paths in their internationalization efforts, one of them being a rapid internationalization strategy, denoted as the Born Global concept. In the paper, we explore the internationalization process of Slovenian Born Global SMEs. We employ an exploratory qualitative case study analysis of selected Slovenian SMEs in order to grasp the key characteristics of their internationalization process. On the basis of the latter we construct a dynamic internationalization model that might be used as a conceptual framework for empirical research of dynamic SMEs market behavior in Slovenia and other transition countries.
