The salience of networks in the internationalisation of family and non-family SMEs

Abstract
In a study of 1304 Australian manufacturing industry SMEs, we investigate the relationships among networking (i.e., inter-organisational and inter-personal networks), internationalisation (i.e., export intensity), and family ownership. We find evidence that (1) inter-organisational networking and inter-personal networking positively influence internationalisation strategy, but this relationship is contingent on a time lag effect, and (2) family ownership negatively moderates the effect of inter-organisational networking on internationalisation.
