摘要

          本研究聚焦于近二十多年来国际商务领域中大量中小企业快速国际化的现象，探讨了企业关系网络在加快企业国际化速度上的角色和作用机制。虽然中小企业国际化和企业关系网络方面的文献很多，但专门研究企业关系网络和中小企业国际化速度之间的关系的文献还很少见。通过整合网络理论、组织学习理论、知识吸收理论与国际化理论，本文提出了一个关系网络与国际化速度的关系的理论模型。本文以317家中国中小企业的调查数据为样本，利用SPSS统计软件进行实证检验，得出以下主要结论：中国中小企业的国际化速度在近二十年来加快了；关系网络是促进中国中小企业国际化速度加快的重要影响因素；中国中小企业利用关系网络快速获得企业国际化所需的市场和经营信息等经验知识，从而为加快企业国际化速度提供了条件；而企业自身的知识吸收能力对于企业消化和利用获得的外部知识加快国际化速度有正向调节的作用。

 Abstract

This research focuses on the phenomenon of SMEs' rapid internationalization in the field of international business in recent two decades. The roles of relationship network on accelerating internationalization and how it works were explored in this paper. Though there is numerous literature relating to the internationalization of SMEs and business network, few of them studies the relationship between business network and internationalization speed of SMEs. Through integrating various theories about relationship network, organizational learning, absorptive capacity and internationalization, a theoretical model of network-based internationalization speed is put forward. Empirical tests by SPSS are based on the sample data obtained from 317 Chinese SMEs. The results reveal that: in the recent two decades, Chinese SMEs speed up their internationalization activities; relationship network is a vital factor influencing their internationalization speed; Chinese SMEs acquire experiential knowledge required by international expansion such as knowledge about foreign market, international operation and so on, thus being able to accelerating the firms' internationalization; absorptive capacity of a firm positively moderates the relationship between experiential knowledge and internationalization speed by favoring the firm's capacity of digesting and internalizing external knowledge.
