          中小企业早期和快速国际化现象越来越受到研究者的关注。关系网络是影响中小企业国际化速度的一个重要因素。论文旨在通过对中国中小企业的实证研究增加对于关系网络与中小企业国际化速度之间的关系的理解。在文献回顾的基础上,研究者提出了关系网络、国际经验知识和中小企业国际化速度之间的关系的假设。然后,通过问卷调查收集了317家中国中小企业的样本数据,利用SPSS统计软件进行实证检验。研究发现,关系网络对中小企业国际化速度有正向影响,其中关系网络的结构因素对后者的影响更为显著。国际经验知识在关系网络与国际化速度的关系中起中介作用。

 

           Recently, researchers pay more attention on the early and rapid internationalization of SMEs. Relationship network is viewed as a vital factor influencing the internationalization speed of SMEs. The aim of this research is to enhance understandings of the relationship between relationship network and internationalization speed of SMEs. Based on literature review, hypotheses about relationship network, international experiential knowledge and internationalization speed are put forword. Then, sampled data of 317 Chinese SMEs were collected through questionnaire survey, and the empirical test was carried out by using SPSS. It is found that the relationship network, especially network structure, has a positive impact on the speed of the internationalization of SMEs. The international experiential knowledge plays an intermediary role in the relationship between the relationship network and the speed of internationalization.
