As the use of digital technologies is creating more fluidity and nonlinearity across time and space in entrepreneurial processes, our research adopted a conceptual process to investigate how the digital transformation of MSMEs will support decision-makers in international businesses. Based on a quantitative research design, we demonstrate that the more a company digitalizes its functions, the more it favours entrepreneurial behavior to lead successful strategic decisions in foreign markets. Our results are discussed in detail and we propose several ways to benefit from opportunities arising from the use of digital technologies.}, keywords = {digital entrepreneurship, digitalization, Entrepreneurial Orientaton, international entrepreneurship, MSMEs}, issn = {1927-0321}, doi = {http://doi.org/10.22215/timreview/1343}, url = {timreview.ca/article/1343}, author = {Anna{\"e}le Herv{\'e} and Christophe Schmitt and Rico Baldegger} } @article {1373, title = {Internationalization and Digitalization: Applying digital technologies to the internationalization process of small and medium-sized enterprises}, journal = {Technology Innovation Management Review}, volume = {10}, year = {2020}, month = {07/2020}, pages = {29-41}, publisher = {Talent First Network}, chapter = {29}, address = {Ottawa}, abstract = {Digitalization is playing an increasingly important role in the growth of firms and is leading to structural and strategic transformations. The use of digital technologies presents new opportunities for SMEs to expand and succeed in foreign markets. The purpose of this paper is to investigate how the impact of digital technologies on the internationalization process of SMEs has been acknowledged in the literature. It offers an in-depth analysis of five of the most highly relevant recent scientific research papers. The findings are synthetized through key points that highlight how SMEs acting in foreign markets could benefit from digital technologies. This paper complements previous research on the international trade transition initiated by digital technologies and provides a new perspective on contemporary research regarding the internationalization of firms. It concludes by identifying implications for research by scholars seeking to further study the digital aspects of traditional theoretical models of internationalization.}, keywords = {digital entrepreneurship, digital technologies, digitalization, international business, internationalization, SMEs.}, issn = {1927-0321}, doi = {http://doi.org/10.22215/timreview/1373}, url = {timreview.ca/article/1373}, author = {Anna{\"e}le Herv{\'e} and Christophe Schmitt and Rico Baldegger} }
