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.

The failure of Solidarity's involvement in party politics has led to increasing attention being focused on workplace organizing activities following the AngloAmerican model. The young union activists develop a different self-conception from older unionists. The reference to Solidarity's history is disappearing, which leads to conflicts about the union's identity and its goals. The new union organisations are born...
