Abstract

This study examines literature about firm structure, ownership structure and concentration, diversification and use of networking related to the degree of internationalisation. A case study of the New Zealand seafood industry was completed to determine whether this literature was applicable in this context. The literature relating to ownership concentration was only partly supported, suggesting an opportunity to contribute the literature. Industry characteristics played a fundamental role in the decision to internationalise, and firm structure determined the rate at which each firm expanded into foreign markets. A model is developed to highlight the key relationships between variables.
