Reviews
'The Internationalisation Strategies of Small-Country Firms is not only aimed at scholars, researchers and students, but is also very useful for business people, practitioners, international government policy-makers, managers and investors.' -- Domingo Ribeiro Soriano, Management Decision 'The Dick and Merrett volume is valuable because it considers the experience of firms and industries within a small to medium-sized developed economy that has high levels of per capita GDP, open policy settings, and a highly urbanised population, but is geographically isolated... This study deserves the close attention of those interested in international business, business and economic history, and management subjects. Executives and policy makers will also gain worthwhile insights.' -- Gordon Boyce, Management Decision 'This research project combines contemporary and historical analysis to trace the evolution of Australian multinationals. It provides unique insights into how firms from a small economy achieved global competitiveness in their niche markets, while examining the barriers that inhibited others. The evidence is presented in comparative, industry and firm-case studies, and tells the story of international business made in Australia. The longitudinal and multi-level analysis in this research provides new insights that challenge the predominance of cross-sectional analytical framework dominating strategic management. Any scholars sincerely interested how companies from small countries can succeed on the global stage ought to read this book.' -- Klaus E. Meyer, University of Reading Business School, UK
