Managerial Relationships and SMEs Internationalization

""Vătămănescu and Mitan’s focus on SMEs and internationalization is very timely. SMEs, and especially those from Central and Eastern Europe, play a vital role in local, regional, and global markets. The authors provide important and valuable analysis of how SMEs use relationships in their internationalization processes."" Professor Andrew Inkpen, Thunderbird School of Global Management, Arizona State University, USA, Copenhagen Business School, Denmark ""By advocating for the diverse range of managerial relationships, this book offers new insights into the intricacies of SMEs' internationalization. It delves deeply into multi-layered relational designs while also considering both macro and micro environments."" Professor Pedro Soto-Acosta, University of Murcia, Spain ""The architecture of the book is designed on a convergent dual perspective of zooming-out and zooming-in analyses. The logic is clear. Internalization is a process of transforming the potential physical and non-physical capital of any SME into a successful enterprise beyond the domestic borders and over the barriers of the global business fabric. The authors reveal the power of the managers’ global mindset in un-weaving the fabric of international business and designing their knowledge and business strategies based on entropic, nonlinear and probabilistic ways of thinking in a complex world.""
