Internationalisation Des PME De La Région Fès Meknès (Maroc) : Cartographie Des Liens Et Tendances Actuelles

Abstract

Globalization is not a recent phenomenon in the social sciences. The advocates argue that companies of all sizes are increasingly integrating into globalization processes. In Morocco, as in other countries, this phenomenon affects several aspects and manifests in several forms. In this paper, we analyze the impact on the mapping of links and the exchange of trade flows between firms in the Fez Meknes region (Morocco) and their foreign companies. The aim is to study the applicability of the concept of "psychic distance", particularly the importance of geographical, cultural, institutional and legislative distance in the choice of foreign partner companies.
