Description

What should Liechtenstein and Swiss SMEs do if the domestic market turns out to be too small for further opportunities? Where should they expand to and how fast? What rhythm should they adopt when internationalizing? What are concrete patterns and insights to learn from? A new research project at the University of Liechtenstein's Chair of International Management at the Institute for Entrepreneurship investigates these questions with the help of a series of qualitative research and teaching case studies.
