Conclusions. 330 $aThis book systematizes the concepts of business relationships and network embeddedness, taking a new approach to internationalization, relevant for the global economy. It reflects the growing importance of network internationalization theory and explores the impact of embeddedness in domestic and foreign relationships on a company?s performance. The author questions the validity of the distinction between domestic and foreign activity of companies and demonstrates that in the B2B market, there are actually no exclusively domestic companies which are not directly or indirectly connected with foreign entities. Chapters cover both small to medium sized enterprises and large multinational corporations, presenting a qualitative analysis of over 400 companies including case studies from the IT and furniture industries. This informative study will provide useful insight for academics and students of business and management, international business and organization studies. 410 0$aPalgrave Studies of Internationalization in Emerging Markets,$x2662-1185 606 $aGlobalization 606 $aMarkets 606 $aManagement information systems 606 $aManagement 606 $aIndustrial management 606 $aOrganization 606 $aPlanning 606 $aInternational business enterprises?Cross-cultural studies 606 $aEmerging Markets/Globalization$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/525010 606 $aEnterprise Architecture$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/522010 606 $aInnovation/Technology Management$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/518000 606 $aOrganization$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/516000 606 $aCross-Cultural Management$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/525040 615 0$aGlobalization. 615 0$aMarkets. 615 0$aManagement information systems. 615 0$aManagement. 615 0$aIndustrial management. 615 0$aOrganization. 615 0$aPlanning. 615 0$aInternational business enterprises?Cross-cultural studies. 615 14$aEmerging Markets/Globalization. 615 24$aEnterprise Architecture. 615 24$aInnovation/Technology Management. 615 24$aOrganization. 615 24$aCross-Cultural Management. 676 $a658.3008 700 $aRatajczak-Mrozek$b Milena$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0937887 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910254918103321 996 $aNetwork Embeddedness$92112842 997 $aUNINA
