Abstract

[fre] L'examen d'un échantillon de 413 entreprises montre que la fréquence et l'intensité de la multinationalisation, ainsi que l'importance des exportations, augmentent avec la taille des entreprises. Les analyses explicatives de l'investissement productif à l'étranger incluent toujours la taille comme un élément déterminant, mais il s'agit plutôt de la taille relative élevée sur des marchés concentrés : effectivement, les entreprises petites et multinationalisées de l'échantillon ont souvent une forte position sur leur marché. On peut donc parler d'une liaison entre la structure des marchés ou la concentration de l'industrie française, et la multinationalisation et les exportations des entreprises. [eng] A study of a 413 French firms sample shows the larger the size of the firms, the higher the frequency and volume of their international production and at the same time the higher the volume of their exportations. All foreign direct investment explanations consider the size of the firms as a main factor, but this size is always a relative one and these markets are concentrated : the sample's small firms which are actually producing abroad control a substantial part of the corresponding French market. As a consequence, corporate multinationalization and the volume of exportations can be more effectively explained by market structure and competitive concentration.
