摘要
Our communication examines the internationalization of high-tech SME. Its enterprises are characterized by their high degree of knowledge and innovation. Our work is based on the theoretical foundation of enterprise internationalization process, as described by the Uppsala model and the Network model, and the flow of international entrepreneurship. The objective is to provide a conceptual contribution to enrich the literature on the internationalization of SME and knowledge management. As a first step, we present an analysis of the literature review on the theories of internationalization. In a second step, we present the evolution of the knowledge concept in theories of internationalization.
