{"product_id":"cross-border-cooperation-eithne-knappitsch-9783515102605","title":"Cross-Border Cooperation: European Institutional Framework and Strategies of SMEs","description":"Cross-border cooperation is becoming increasingly important as one of the most effective internationalization strategies for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Despite the existence of substantial literature on the internationalization of SMEs, there is still a distinct gap to fill regarding the specifics of SME cross-border cooperation. This book contributes to this missing dialogue by identifying the key factors affecting cross-border cooperation activities for SMEs in a European context. It reconciles the background conditions, challenges, and potential that cross-border cooperation offers SMEs: exploring the role of public policy and governance structures in cooperation across borders; identifying the economic, social, cultural and institutional framework conditions; outlining the different stumbling blocks impeding cross-border cooperation of SMEs, and crucially, discussing how these can be overcome through effective cooperation management.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Eithne Knappitsch,Christina Mundschutz,Dietmar Sternad\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3515102604\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783515102605\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Franz Steiner Verlag Wiesbaden GmbH\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/23\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 280\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.36lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.40h x 6.20w x 0.80d","brand":"Eithne Knappitsch","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48799198216447,"sku":"9783515102605","price":118.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/cross-border-cooperation-eithne-knappitsch-9783515102605","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
