- Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to develop understanding of the internationalization of sub-contracting small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). The international behavior of these SMEs is specific because of the nature of the industrial sub-contracting relationship. The main theoretical approaches to the internationalization of SMEs ignore this specific behavior and therefore do not offer a satisfactory analysis framework. In such conditions it is legitimate to carry out an exploratory empirical study such as this one. This study produced a typology of sub-contracting SMEs as a function of the export modes that they use to develop internationally. It also illustrates the ambivalent role played by the mandating clients' network.
