Dear all,

In Finland SME research has some relevant studies. To my knowledge one 
source of information on capital issues is prof. Markku Virtanen. You
may 
find the information collected on this subject perhaps through the
library 
of Pienyrityskeskus  (see www.hkkk.fi) or directly from 
Markku.virtanen at pyk.hkkk.fi. His PHD is called " Entrepreneurial finance
and 
venture capital advantage", published 1996 at the Helsinki school of 
economics in Finland. This might be of assistance.
Good luck for your research efforts.
Best regards,

Maria Elo Dr.Sc.(Econ)

Apologies for cross-postings

I am attempting to research the manner in which different sources of
capital impact small firm internationalization.  I am trying to find any
available firm level data on entry mode, foreign sales, countries
entered, etc., that I can combine with other data on funding sources.
Any data, knowledge of data or other leads, however vague or limited
(e.g., data from a particular industry) would be greatly appreciated.

One of the issues in researching international entrepreneurship is the
lack of, or fragmented knowledge of, such data sources.  I am making
this request via a number of avenues, and will summarize and synthesize
what I find, and make this info available to all responders.

I appreciate any info you can provide.

Best regards,

Joe
