新经济社会学视角的中小企业国际化研究综述

Review of Internationalization of SMEs:A New Economic Sociology Perspective

企业国际化是国际商务研究的重要问题。当代企业国际化理论的发展在延续传统企业国际化理论的同时,得到了来自新经济社会学的补充和修正。尤其在针对国际化中小企业和国际新创企业的研究中,来自社会网络与社会资本的研究愈发丰富。本文在简要评述现有企业国际化理论的同时,梳理了从新经济社会学理论视角分析企业国际化问题的相关文献,认为企业理论研究的发展方向必然是走向跨学科的综合。

The intemationalization of the firm is an important issue in international business studies. The development of the contemporary enterprise internationalization theory is a continuation of traditional enterprise internationalization theory. At the same time, enterprise internationalization theories draw new blood from the new economic sociology. Social network theory and social capital theory are particularly suitable for the study of small and medium-sized enterprises. This paper reviews the literature on analyses of enterprise internationalization with new economic sociology theory. The future research prospects of firm theories, this paper argues, must be heading towards a comprehensive interdisciplinary approach.
