AbstractThe aim of this article is to analyze the way by which a small firm builds a dynamic capability in internationalization. To do this, we studied an industrial company with 10 employees. Our analysis shows that the company has built a dynamic capability in internationalization by developing its resources and capabilities through a process characterized by the frequency, the progressive internationalization and the success of the first steps of geographic expansion. We also highlight the factors that promoted the construction of the dynamic capability. Among them, we note the importance of managerial and organizational characteristics, but also the particularities of the industry.

AbstractThe author reviews recent studies on social and occupational mobility. Twenty years after his joint publication with R. Bendix Social Mobility in Industrial Society, he is able to utilize the abundant data available form the communist countries : U.S.S.R., Poland, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, and Yugoslavia. He shows that the research conducted in these countries repeatedly demonstrates that differences in rates of social mobility vary according to family's occupational status. Then, examining the results from such social-democratic nations as Sweden and Great Britain, he shows that there too, family origins are reflected in the rates of mobility, much as in France. He concludes that no nation has yet found the solution to inequality for children of the lower classes.
