[1] The role of social network on small firm internationalisation had been acknowledged in existent literature. However, the scope of these works is mostly focused on the network built on the target market. Domestic market has barely been tackled although it plays a significant role to access to specific resources. This research proposes to extent the seminal article from Tung and Luo (2007, 2018) to SMEs from emerging economies. More specifically, the purpose of this research will be to study the impact of domestic network on various internationalization dimension (speed, age at internationalisation, pace, and scope).
[2] Phygital (= neologism with the terms ‘‘physical’’ + ‘‘digital’’) refers to a new concept of space that originates from the increasing convergence of the physical dimension and the digital dimension. Augmented reality, Internet of Things, robotics, and artificial intelligence are transforming commercial spaces in digitally enriched environments that blur the distinction between the ‘‘real’’ and the ‘‘simulated.’’ Thus the core question is: Does this distinction appear relevant today?
The possible combinations of the physical and digital worlds seem unlimited and bring to the following sub-questions.
- Are there differences into these combinations according to the shopping experiences?
- What are the impacts of these different combinations on the relationship between actors (customers to customers; customers with services employees)?
Theoretical framework: consumer service experience; servicescape, place and space; omni-channel retailing
Methodology: qualitative approach; Field: for the physical places: Vietnam shops, traditional Vietnamese markets, door-to-door sales. For the digital channel: web sites, social networks
