Non-equity modes w erze digitalizacji gospodarki
Non-equity modes in the digital era

Summary/Abstract: The aim of the paper is to reveal the impact of digitization on the scope of non-equity modes (NEMs) in the internationalization process, its barriers and benefits. The study uses a descriptive method and the results of a survey conducted in the group of Polish IT producers. The research shows that NEMs do not affect the internationalization of Polish IT producers significantly. This is due to the fact that enterprises do not see the benefits of business digitization in foreign expansion, but also to the specificity of the sector (low capital opportunities and little international experience). Business relationship networks created through indirect export (the leading form of expansion among the surveyed companies) together with the use of digital environment can provide conditions for the development of non-equity forms in their foreign expansion.
