Stages or leaps? Market strategies of telecommunication operators from small and medium sized countries

This paper discusses international market strategies of companies in an internationalising service industry, the telecommunications industry. The analysis focusses on the market strategies of four national telecommunications operators who have moved from a domestic monopoly to being an actor in the global telecommunications industry. Differences in the market strategies between manufacturing and service companies in general, and in the telecommunications industry in particular, are analysed. The special challenges that telecommunication operators from small and medium size countries face are discussed. The conceptual framework is developed, and methodology and research procedures are introduced. The preliminary case study findings are reported.http://aib.msu.edu/events/2006/AIB2006_Proceedings.pd

The impact of network externalities and the role of governments on internationalisation strategies in network industries : a theoretical overview

This theoretical paper explores the impact of network externalities and the role of governments on international strategies in network industries. It is argued that both characteristics have a major influence on how network companies determine their international market entry and operation modes, and the type of organisation strategies implemented. The paper discusses how these internationalisation processes differ from those suggested by more traditional theories based mostly on the internationalisation of manufacturing companies, and on service sectors other network industries. Propositions of the internationalisation strategies of these types of companies are developed
