“…For example, Su et al (2016) found that the positive relation between Chinese firms' knowledge creation capability and performance was moderated negatively by the degree of government support they received. Michael et al (2016) also demonstrated that government support moderated the relation between firm resources and export intention.…”

“…Previous research has shown that, although the roles of firms' internal resources and government support were found to be key determinants of firms in emerging economies' business performance (Michael et al, 2016;Su et al, 2016), empirical evidence of the interaction between firms' internal resources and government agency social capital on their international performance is still lacking. Moreover, there has been little examination of the conditions under which firms in emerging economies tend to rely more on government social connections to support their businesses.…”

The objective of this research was to investigate the contributions of resources available for international expansion, product advantage, and government agency social capital to Thai firms' satisfaction with their export performance. The sampling frame used for this study included Thai firms listed in the directory of the Thai Exporter. Data were obtained using a self-administered questionnaire (total n = 124). The findings from partial least squares regression analysis showed that firms that have more resources available for international expansion, product advantage, and government agency social capital tended to demonstrate a higher level of satisfaction with their export performance. However, the moderating effect analysis found further that government agency social capital's positive contribution to satisfaction with export performance tended to be more crucial for firms that had few resources available for international expansion and for those that had less product advantage.

“…SMEs' resources are essential for supporting their internationalisation process. SMEs cannot compete with larger firms without sufficient resources (Korsakiene, 2014;Michael et al, 2016). A lack of resources has been identified as the main barrier facing SMEs in obtaining access to the international market (Hutchinson et al, 2009).…”

The purpose of this study was to identify critical success factors (CSFs) for Indonesian small-medium enterprises (SMEs) accessing international markets. The study used the resource-based view, the knowledge-based view, and network theory as a theoretical framework to assess CSFs. The population consisted of Indonesian exporting SMEs registered with the Indonesian Ministry of Cooperatives and Small Businesses. The total sample contained 153 SME exporters, which were selected using convenience sampling techniques. Paper-based and electronic questionnaire instruments were used to collect the data. The questionnaires were distributed through small-medium enterprises' export networks and to SME respondents at an international trade exhibition. Factor analyses, namely exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), were applied. The research findings revealed that international market knowledge, product innovation knowledge, and institutional networking are critical success factors for the internationalisation of small-medium enterprises in Indonesia. The study contributes by enriching the body of knowledge regarding firm internationalisation theory and providing valuable information for understanding small-medium enterprises' internationalisation in an emerging country such as Indonesia.

“…Prior studies examining manager demographics have found managerial commitment to be influenced by some skill‐based characteristics, such as international experience, foreign language proficiency, and educational background (Omri & Becuwe, ). Possession of these skills and knowledge provides the information input and, in turn, provides incentives to enter international markets (Andersson & Evers, ; Michael, Saban, & Abdurahman, ). Many empirical studies have revealed that managers in exporting firms have a higher level of education, more international experience, and/or higher foreign language proficiency than those in nonexporting firms (Baum, Schwens, & Kabst, ; Ibeh, Wilson, & Chizema, ; Oviatt & McDougall, ).…”

Over the past two decades, small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in China have achieved rapid international development. Due to China's unique cultural and institutional environments, our understanding of the influence of managerial determinants on internationalization is still limited. This exploratory study takes the lens of the innovation model of internationalization to revisit the dynamic development of Chinese SMEs' export operations. Based on the four indepth case studies, the findings suggest that exports by Chinese SMEs are influenced by managerial perceptions such as negative country-of-origin effect and strict overseas quality standards. In addition, they show that both external and internal drivers act as "change agents" in their internationalization involvement. These findings will assist various stakeholdersgovernment and export promotion agencies-to develop and deliver needs-based supports and encourage nonexporters to participate in international operations.
