The entrepreneur is regarded as crucial for a firm's international strategies and the central factor explaining a firm's international behaviour (Andersson, 2000). Research into the internationalization of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) has emphasized the role of entrepreneur-related elements that impact export performance, such as: strategy (Baird, Lyles, & Orris, 1994; Tyebjee, 1994); attitudes (Bijmolt & Zwart, 1994; Ogbuehi & Longfellow, 1994); commitment (Dhanaraj & Beamish, 2003); perceptions (Jaffe & Pasternak, 1994); orientations (Dichtl et al., 1984); the international experience of managers (Qian, 2002; Reuber & Fischer, 1997); as well as more integrative human capital elements (Andersson, 2000; Bilkey & Tesar, 1977; Cavusgil, 1993; Herrm...

CULTURE SHOCK: You'll think you're in Las Vegas when the sparkling bikini-clad, feather-tailed and headdressed, high-heeled showgirls shake their stuff provocatively for 10 minutes onstage. If this doesn't fit your idea of family entertainment you might want to take a pass.
FOOD: If you caught the menu at last week's Hungarian pavilion, you'll be equally satisfied; if you didn't, now's your chance. Hearty beef goulash or jam-packed cabbage rolls for $4, as well as sugar-dusted fry bread and a saucy chicken crepe.
SHOW: This year's "That's Astronomical!" variety show searches for its own galaxy of "stars." You'll even get to hear operatic numbers and a warbling Galileo.

BRING the whole family, as this busy pavilion boasts something for all ages. From a children's activity area, complete with face painting and a resident leprechaun to the Tipperary Tea Room and The Whisky Snug, you are sure to find something to keep you entertained. Set in an Irish pub, the fun-filled show at this pavilion features Celtic band Ard-Ri, the Toora-Loora-Lay Singers and dancers from the McDonnell and McConnell Schools of Irish Dance. You'll be clapping along and tapping your toes in no time.
* FOOD: You won't leave here hungry. Favourites such as polish perogies ($2.50), hot sausage ($2.25) and cabbage rolls ($1) are available, and you can also feast on hunter's stew -- a Polish national dish. If you're really hungry, try the Syrena special with a breaded pork cutlet ($7)...

Created nearly 25 years ago, the International Valuation Standards Committee's (IVSC) fundamentals have been in place for a long time - a governance structure; an agreed definition of market value; global representation; and perhaps most significantly, considerable trust, goodwill and co-operation amongst key players. As the US, Canada and the world at large took bold new steps in the past five years to harmonize accounting and financial reporting standards, IVSC made an important strategic decision. That was to ensure that, whenever an asset was to be measured to fair value under IFRS, the measurement standard to be applied should be the International Valuation Standards (IVS). By the beginning of 2005, nearly 100 countries are using IFRS directly or aligning national standards with IF...
