Abstract
This research addresses the growing issue of the link between business networks and internationalisation. Through the lens of an agricultural setting the structure and relationships in the New Zealand agricultural technology industry is examined, with the view to looking at how firms within this industry are undertaking the process of internationalisation and how that is being facilitated by their position within the network. The findings suggest that within the New Zealand agricultural technology industry the network like structure has enabled and facilitated internationalisation, particularly in the development and leveraging of relationships. A range of managerial implications are discussed such as network factors that can stimulate the internationalisation process.
