Contribution of SEAM to the Internationalization Process of Family Businesses
Résumé
Globalization is an anthropological and essential transformation at both levels, microeconomic and macroeconomic (countries, organizations, and people). In this paper, we present a traditional research based on an in-depth applied experiment of SEAM intervention in a French family business. Our research hypothesis is that during the internationalization process, management consulting practices, such as socio-economic intervention-research, help family businesses manage their internationalization process at different stages: decision-making, strategic implementation and performance piloting through measuring hidden costs and performance. We present our research results about the internationalization process of our family company case and show how, as researcher-consultants, we contribute to make this process more successful
