This paper unequivocally focuses on the question of "how" (mode of entry), rather than "when" (timing of market entry) or "where" (location) to enter a foreign market. Therefore sought to explore how (mode of entry) and the levels of internationalization among selected small scale enterprises in Kampala, Uganda. In so doing it identifies the propensity of small scale enterprises to internationalize in the context of Kampala, Uganda. Data was collected through self-administered questionnaire and a total of 409 responds were received. The findings revealed that the mode of entry/internationalization is dominantly sporadic exporting and internationalization levels as a whole is very low among the small businesses considered in the study. A peripheral finding in this study was that most of the internationalization efforts were focused on neighboring countries (location). The recommendation was made that small businesses should be encouraged to establish more networks in foreign markets to instill more confidence and willingness to internationalize on a larger scale.

-The study explored the influence of the firm's age on choice of internationalization mode in Kampala, Uganda. Testing four (4) hypotheses: (i) There is no significant difference between firm age and level of exporting, (ii) There is no significant difference between firm age and level of licensing, (iii) There is a significant difference between firm age and level of joint ventures, and (iv) There is a significant difference between firm age and level of foreign direct investments. Using a sample of 409 small businesses, the data was analyzed with the application of range, means, standard deviations, Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). The study found that the first two hypotheses were accepted, while the last two were reject. The conclusion was down that small businesses might not have the resource to commitment to high levels of internationalization along the ‗establishment chain' and thus the recommendations were give that small businesses should be encouraged to internationalize for the sake of their wellbeing and to engage partnership/collaborations to enable them adopt higher levels of the establishment chain.
