The importance of social networks in the penetration of high-tech companies into the markets of other countries: stakeholders interviews

The interviews tackle the success of companies entering the markets of European Union member states and third-country markets, the mechanisms used by companies in this regard, and the topics of social capital. The interviews are based on a survey results conducted among high-tech companies in Slovenia (DOI 10.5281/zenodo.15088379). A purposive sampling method was used. The interviewees were divided into three relevant spheres: public institutions, business associations, and companies. In each sphere, two institutions/companies were identified. The interviewees were selected based on their job position and experience in the field of the topic under discussion. A total of six interviews were conducted in July 2015. The questionnaire consists of four thematic sections, namely (i) institutional support, (ii) non-institutional support), (iii) involvement in public policy networks and planning of strategic documents, and (iv) network formation. It consists of eight questions. The interviews lasted an average of 45 minutes.本访谈聚焦企业进入欧盟成员国市场与第三国市场的成功实践、企业在此类市场拓展进程中采用的运作机制，以及社会资本相关议题。本次访谈基于斯洛文尼亚高科技企业的调研成果（DOI 10.5281/zenodo.15088379）。 本次研究采用目的性抽样法。受访对象被划分为三大相关领域：公共机构、行业协会与企业，每个领域各选取2家机构/企业。受访对象的遴选依据其岗位职级与相关议题领域的从业经验确定。2015年7月共完成6场访谈。本次调研问卷包含四大主题板块，分别为（i）制度性支持、（ii）非制度性支持、（iii）参与公共政策网络与战略文件规划、（iv）网络构建，共计8个调研问题。每场访谈平均时长为45分钟。
