Abstract:
Objective: The aim of this study was to determine
internationalization and Europeanization of businesses in the Single
European Market (SEM), especially the territorial scope of their
international activity.
Research Design & Methods: The following research
methods were applied: literature review and the survey conducted among
216 internationalized firms. The study has been carried out at the turn
of 2013 and 2014 on the sample of N = 216 enterprises from all 16 Polish
regions. The statistical calculations were made by means of the
statistical software package “Statistica”. In order to verify the
assumed hypothesis the Pearson’s chi-square independence test and
Spearman's rank correlation coefficient were applied.
Findings: The research has confirmed the statistical
dependence between the size of a firm and territorial scope of its
international activity. Statistical dependence between age of a firm and
the scope of its internationalization has been partially confirmed.
Contribution & Added Value: There was no research done
until now that focused on investigated issues on the quite big sample
of internationalized businesses from all 16 Polish regions (the whole
country).
