- This study applies an economic sociology perspective in exploring the importance of cultural embeddedness of firm economic activities across borders. The findings are data driven and uses the seafood trade and its shared business environments between Norway and China as case example. The empirical findings of this study show that market-as-network, and actor-to-actor interrelationships will become increasingly important in forming resilient business networks. It also illustrates how economic sociology can provide a holistic framework of analysis in studying cultural embeddedness.

Graftee and Grafting in Firm Internationalization

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This study focuses on enhancing the understanding of how firm internationalization is triggered by investigating how firms cope with the lack of knowledge and networks when entering a foreign market. More specifically we are interested in answering the following research question: How do firms enter foreign markets without market-specific knowledge and market-specific network insidership? To this end, the present study implements a case study of 12 Swedish firms internationalizing into emerging markets. The study found that firms “graft” expert individuals to help firms penetrate foreign markets where they have no prior history or experience. Further, we observed the qualities of a specific type of actor we refer to as a “graftee” by describing grafting actions and showing how these graftees help firms acquire experiential knowledge and network insidership. Our empirical evidence shows that grafting impacts the form and process of internationalization, sometimes enabling an effectuation-driven market entry while, at other times, enabling a causation-driven process.

From New Emerging to New Emerging Markets : Stuck in between Opportunity and Risk: Internationalization of Turkish Firms in Romania
- 2020
-

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The focus of this paper is to study how MNCs from new emerging markets manage the opportunity development in other new emerging markets. The aim is to propose a theoretical frame based on business network theory holding the concepts of opportunity development, risk, knowledge, and commitment used to analyze the Turkish firm's behavior in Romania. With the infusion of risk tolerance concept, the study contributes new knowledge to the internationalization model and aids understanding of how new MNCs develop opportunities. It enriches network theory as it unfolds the role of an actor's risk perception and the role of financial resources.
