Abstract

There is an increased research interest in the internationalization of SMEs. The purpose of the study is to enrich the literature by proposing a Flying High, Landing Soft methodology, and thus helping SMEs go abroad. The methodology is based on the Soft Landings program originally developed by the ernational Business Innovation Association. Soft landings is a process that helps a company from one country to land softly – without crashing, into the market of another country through a local incubator. The methodology provides innovative lingakes for students at various levels (undergraduate, graduate, and executive education) and business communities to engage in global entrepreneurship in sustainable value chains. The methodology is grounded in the theories of strategic entrepreneurship, docility-based distributed cognition, and internationalization. The study analyzes the sustainable bamboo development projects done by the International Bamboo and Rattan Organisation. The implications of the results for managers and policy makers interested in United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals are discussed.
