| Abstract: | This is an exploratory study of internationalisation by small and medium-sized business service enterprises (SMEs) which constitute over 95% of the firms on this sector in the UK. The evidence shows that involvement with foreign markets is not necessarily associated with investment in contractual arrangements or FDI since the control of personnel expertise and client relations form the basis of business service development in all markets. Therefore greater understanding of the dynamics of the internationalisation process of business service companies is needed. |
