The rise in the number of small and medium businesses competing in foreign markets has led to growing interest among researchers in the study of the international activities of these firms. Previous studies have focused on how small businesses successfully compete in the market alongside larger and resourceful firms despite the former's scarcity of resources. In this light, we develop the conceptual framework that is based upon the resource-based view, and explore the link between firm-specific resources and export performance. This study examines the relationships between entrepreneurial dimensions, namely pro-activeness, risk-taking, and innovativeness, and the performance of the exporter. Based on a sample of 220 SMEs, this study found that pro-activeness affects export performance positively and significantly. In addition, innovativeness was found to be significantly associated with export performance. Finally, the paper ends with the conclusion, a presentation of the limitations of the study, and suggestions for future research.

The type of research used in this study was empirical legal research, in this study, the sampling used purposive sampling and the data analysis used by researchers in legal research used descriptive analysis. The results showed that policy implementation failed because the content of the policy was still unclear, meaning that the objectives were not detailed enough, the means and application of priorities, or the policy programs were too general or did not exist at all. Second, because of the lack of internal and external provisions of the policies to be implemented. Third, the policies to be implemented may also show significant deficiencies. Fourth, other causes of failure to implement a public policy can occur due to deficiencies concerning auxiliary resources, for example, those concerning time, cost/funds, and human labor.
