The phenomenon of early internationalizing firms: what do we know after a decade (1993-2003) of scientific inquiry? (2005, background): “Thus, in order to obtain further knowledge about the business internationalization process, more specifically oriented and highly systematic research concerning early internationalizing firms is needed (Coviello & McAuley, 1999; Fillis, 2001; Jones & Dimitratos, 2003; Zou & Stan, 1998).”
SMES' internationalization: firms and managerial factors (2005, background): “In future research we believe it is important to take into account the peculiarities of the small firms to develop theories with potential to explain the internationalization process in this particular context ( Fillis, 2001”
Drivers and antecedents of manufacturing offshoring and backshoring—A German perspective (2009, background): “The capital and financing requirements for foreign projects, overcoming bureaucratic hurdles abroad, as well as lack of know-how, capacity and competent personnel for cross-border management are commonly acknowledged barriers (Fillis, 2001; Baird et al., 1994).”
International entrepreneurship: A critical analysis of studies in the past two decades and future directions for research (2012, background): “Fillis (2001) suggests that SME behaviour in the internationalisation process could be better understood by looking at the entrepreneurs marketing skills, resource availability, creativity and identification of opportunities.”
Trends in production relocation and backshoring activities (2012, background): “For manufacturing companies’ backshoring activities, barriers to internationalisation like the lack of financial resources, capacity, know-how and competent personnel for cross-border management are important antecedents (Fillis, 2001; Baird et al., 1994).”
Conceptualizing accelerated internationalization in the born global firm: A dynamic capabilities perspective (2007, background): “Some researchers sought to integrate the international business and entrepreneurship literatures in seeking a theoretical explanation for the born global phenomenon (Fillis, 2001; Jones & Coviello, 2005; Oviatt & McDougall, 2005).”
Theoretical milestones in international business: The journey to international entrepreneurship theory (2006, background): “Smaller international firms have emerged as serious competitors against large firms in certain niche markets ( Fillis, 2001 ).”
Small- and medium-sized enterprise internationalization: Towards the knowledge-based model (2010, background): “In the same fashion, Fillis (2001 ) i n his review of small firm internationalization concluded that “the majority of frameworks fail to readily explain small firm internationalization behaviour”.”
Opportunities for marketing researchers in international entrepreneurship (2006, background): “Over the past decade the links between entrepreneurship and both marketing ( Fillis, 2001”
