Even though there are studies focusing on both high-tech and low-tech industries, the differences between their internationalization patterns have not been generally analyzed. Through a multiple case-study research focusing on a comparison between both industries, we are able to identify differences in the internationalization pattern and specific influential factors. Our findings show that (1) high-tech firms are more international than low-tech ones; (2) the global nature of high-tech firms triggers internationalization while low-tech firms are driven by home market conditions and entrepreneurial traits; (3) networks have a distinct role between industries; (4) the concept of psychic distance may still be applied to this type of firms.NSBE - UNLGerasymenko, ViolettaRUNLabrusco, Ana Filipa Pinto Tomás2014-03-21T18:51:50Z2014-012014-01-01T00:00:00Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/masterThesisapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10362/11784TID:201531607enginfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAP2024-03-11T03:46:25Zoai:run.unl.pt:10362/11784Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-20T03:20:32.093375Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse
