Internationalization Process of Chinese Firm in Estonia: Case Evidence

 
In pace with globalization, increasing amount of firms from emerging market are expanding overseas based on various
considerations. Research on Chinese firms’ internationalization have been studied intensively by different streams of
scholars in the past few decades, the research mainly focus on MNCs rather than SMEs, on major economies rather than smaller
-scale economies. Thus, there is lack of attention on Chinese firms’ internationalization in small economies in the
literature.
This Bachelor’s thesis is conducted in order to fill this research gap, meaning, thesis will analyze one Chinese SME that has
chosen one small/open economy Estonia as the destination for internationalization. The thesis aims at exploring the
internationalization motivation of the case company, the entry mode choices, and the initiation development of the subsidiary
in Estonia.
