Business services: Markets and transactions

Tertiary activities and among them business services represent an increasingly dominant share of GDP. The main purpose of this paper is to show that the concepts and theories which have been developed mainly with reference to industrial, essentially material, activities are not relevant for service, dominantly non-material, activities, more particularly for informational business services. These-the way they operate, the relations between the actors, the processes through which values are created and prices are determined...-are substantially different, and would thus seem to require substantially, or even radically different approaches and theories.

Entrepreneurship in International Business: An Institutional Perspective

International business activities have confronted entrepreneurs with host business environments that are fundamentally different from their home countries. Despite decades of entrepreneurship research, we know very little about these entrepreneurs and their strategic behaviour in establishing and managing transnational operations. This paper develops an institutional perspective on transnational entrepreneurship. This perspective argues that significant variations in institutional structures of home countries explain variations in the entrepreneurial endowments of prospective transnational entrepreneurs. Transnational entrepreneurship is embedded in transnational actor networks that facilitate successful cross-border business operations. This paper goes beyond the theoretical impasse in entrepreneurship and international business studies.
