Patterns of internationalization of Spanish innovatory firms
Article Abstract:
Factors cited in the eclectic theory and tacit components of the company advantages play significant roles in the internationalization strategy of Spanish innovatory firms. Data taken from 814 innovating companies revealed that location considerations such as market size, production costs and price level act as vital factors in illustrating the international strategies of Spanish innovatory firms. Factors related to organizational and technological capabilities of firms were also proven vital in the internationalization strategy of innovatory firms.
