Public sector services for Finnish SMEs to internationalize to China : case "Turku - Tianjin project"
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Internationalization is a burning issue, especially in Finland, among the small- and mediumsized \ncompanies. In just 2 years the number of Finnish companies transacting international business has increased from 5000 SMEs to 25 000 (Elinkeinoelämän Keskusliitto 2012; Tilastokeskus 2012). This indicates a strong interest towards internationalization. Additionally, Finland’s export to emerging countries is increasing rapidly and is currently 15% of the total export and from that 15%, over a quarter is export to China. (Elinkeinoelämän Keskusliitto, 2012.) Thus it is justified to research the quality, number and demand of services supporting internationalization of Finnish SMEs, especially to China. \n \nChina has been a closed country for a long period time. Even though it started tardily to open up for the world already over 40 years ago, Mao’s ideology has got a great influence on current Chinese people, Chinese culture and environment. During Mao Zedong’s time complete national equality was highly emphasized and no-one was supposed to have more than the others. This changed as Deng Xiaoping became the leader of communistic China. Deng Xiaoping’s famous words: “To become rich is glorious” reflects well the change in the ideology. \n \nAfter Economic reform China’s regime has also changed from central planning system towards more decentralized and thus provinces and municipalities have nowadays greatly authority. This has provided a chance for corruption, which is a serious problem in China currently. Even though the government has taken measures to clean house, corruption at the province and \nmunicipality level is still a big problem in China. \n \nAdditionally, as China is divided to many provinces, municipalities and special administrative areas the regulations and customs vary among them. This implicates that knowledge of one area does not mean that it could be generalized to cover the whole China. This means that if a \ncompany wants to internationalize to China the fact that the help provider’s office is in that specific region brings additional value and know – how on that specific region’s business environment. \n \nChinese culture differs also greatly from Finnish culture. Chinese culture and business culture are based on the teachings of Confucius. Mianzi, Quanxi and the Chinese business etiquette are essential element of Chinese business culture. One should get familiar with Chinese business culture before doing business in China. \n \nAll the mentioned things implicates that indeed it is worthwhile to research whether help and assistance are needed when internationalizing to China.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; both teacher heads agree on what is shown here.
