Résumé
Cet article compare les entreprises francophones et anglophones du Nouveau-Brunswick impliquées dans 12 types d’expansion internationale : exportation (sous cinq types), joint-venture, consultation, filiales intégralement contrôlées, sous-traitance, troc ou commerce de contrepartie, licence et projets clés en main. En se basant sur des tests des proportions, les résultats indiquent qu’il y a une différence marquée entre les deux groupes même quand l’effet de la taille a été contrôlé. Les relations entre origine ethnique et certaines stratégies sont très fortes et sont toujours unidirectionnelles : toujours positivement associées avec un groupe donné et négativement associées avec l’autre. Ceci est vrai tant au niveau global de l’échantillon qu’au niveau des petites entreprises et des moyennes entreprises.
Abstract
This paper compares the French-speaking and English-speaking enterprises of New Brunswick involved in 12 types of international expansion : export (under five types), joint venture, consulting, wholly owned subsidiaries, subcontract, barter or countertrade, license and turnkey projects. Based on tests of proportions, the results indicate significant differences between the two groups even when the effect of the size has been removed. The relations between ethnic origin and some strategies are very strong and are always unidirectional : always associated positively with a given group and associated negatively with the other. This is true both at the global level of the sample and at the level of the small companies and medium companies.
