| Abstract: | This study explores the issue of internationalization through forming alliances with foreign capital in the Turkish small business sector. Using a sample of over 250 SMEs from this emerging market economy, gathered through a field study, it is found that Turkish SMEs would like to form alliances with foreign capital for expanding their production capacity and accessing to world markets. Multivariate multinomial logit models are employed to analyse the survey data econometrically. Size-specific, sector-specific and management-specific factors are identified in the alliance motivation. The 'finance' and 'market' aspects of alliances prevail in the multivariate analysis with significant implications etc. |
