Abstract

“Stronger is better”, a stronger firm is better economically for local, regional and global market. Being in a network shows the spirit of development of relationships that supports internationalization and enables small businesses to grow beyond the limits of their internal local or regional market. In the litterature, many authors argued that, among all the theories and perspectives of internationalization, network perspective seems to be the most relevant from the point of view of the internationalization of small businesses. At birth and beyond a firm can be surounded by several supports to reach at term the level needed to be a competitor.
