摘要

摘要本研究以现有的国际化理论为基础，试图对非洲葡语中小企业的进入模式进行分析。它提供了主要框架的关键概述，重点关注它们的主要属性、挑战和陷阱，以描述国际化过程中的相似性和进入模式预测中的不足。基于笔者在2016年对莫桑比克和安哥拉29家葡语非洲中小企业进行调查时所遇到的挑战，提出了一个更综合、更全面的国际化框架。它考虑了通过互联网、网络工具和平台(包括社交媒体和在线专业实践社区)在信息通信技术和商业数字化方面的进步。

Internationalization as an integrated process: Evidence from SMEs in Lusophone Africa

Abstract This study focuses on extant internationalization theories, attempting to elucidate the entry modes adopted by Lusophone African SMEs. It offers a critical overview of the leading frameworks, focusing on their primary attributes, challenges, and pitfalls in depicting similarities in the internationalization process and shortfalls in entry mode predictions. Based on the author’s challenges when investigating 29 Lusophone African SMEs in Mozambique and Angola in 2016, an integrated and more holistic framework for internationalization is proposed. It considers advancements in ICT and business digitalization via the internet, web-enabled tools, and platforms, including social media and online professional communities of practices.
