dc.description.abstract | The increased relevance of software companies and the development of information and
communication technologies have challenged traditional theories of internationalisation.
Software companies appear to have notable advantages when expanding abroad. This topic
has been studied by academics yet its complexity and multidisciplinarity have made it
impossible for one theory to properly explain it. This work reviews some of the existing
literature on internationalisation with a focus on software companies before carrying out
semi-structured interviews with managers of two Spanish software companies to provide
insight into their internationalisation process. One of the companies was found to be a Born
Global as its internationalisation was early, not guided by psychic distance and without the
use of networks. Networks opened the door to internationalisation for the other company
interviewed, following one of the described models; however, psychic distance was still
important. While the advantages of software companies to internationalise have been
documented and studied by academics, it is perhaps too simple to say that all of them have
such advantages. | spa |
