Mental maps are used to represent the risk-perceptions and foreign market orientations of decision-makers within a sample of dynamic small firms in the UK. Quantitative and qualitative analyses help identify factors that influence top managers' perceptions of their spatial environment and link these to the resulting patterns of internationalisation. International experience and network relationships are found to strongly influence managerial cognition and thereby internationalization decision-making. The learning process appears to be unstructured and opportunistic.

This paper examines the social relationships in and around a German subsidiary in Hungary during the first 15 years of Hungarian transition to a market economy.

Hence managers with strong ethnocentric views may systematically under-invest abroad while excessive international diversification, on the other hand, may...

In our paper, we develop a typology of diversity strategies through combining elements of strategy research, diversity research, and resource dependence theory. We focus on the question why people with a migration background are (not) employed by organizations. We argue that employment decisions are based on the evaluation of critical resources and the quest to secure their accrual. We identify six diversity strategies, designate each by the importance of respective resources, and derive propositions regarding their relation to competitive strategies. We confront these propositions with empirical data stemming from 500 companies. Correspondence analyses reveal various relationships between diversity and competitive strategies and moderating effects of the company size and the industrial...
