On Thursday October 8, Dr. Englis will give a presentation about entrepreneurial firms in the context of international strategies.

Location: “The Corridor” , Hengelosestraat 525-527, Enschede

Knowledge intensive firms face many challenges and opportunities in doing business; among these are numerous issues that arise when doing business across national borders. While traditional theories of international expansion tend to focus on incremental internationalization, her discussion centers on rapid and more innovative ways for knowledge intensive firms to expand beyond national boundaries. Using a series of case studies, her presentation will focus on opportunities and competition present in the developed world as well as the rapidly expanding opportunities in less developed and especially from “the bottom of the pyramid.”
