Abstract

We report the findings of a study on how small- and medium-sized family enterprises (SMFEs) from rural areas in Finland get embedded for internationalization. Our data consists of 36 interviews with entrepreneurs plus secondary data. The emergent model of international embeddedness revolved around the practices, phases, and outcomes of getting embedded for internationalization. To elucidate the process of getting internationally embedded, we refer to literature on networks, entrepreneurship, internationalization, and family business.
