Esin Yoruk uses data from Polish food and textile firms to examine how their networking activities influenced the firms’ ability to learn and adapt.  Senmao Xia  assesses how Chinese SMEs’ home country performance is influenced by their operations in developed markets through technological learning. Therefore, the session promises to reveal important insights into the performance of SMEs through trading and networking activities.
