“…In their efforts, firms are also supported by governments to venture abroad (Voss et al, 2014). Yet, internationalisation is still among the most intricate and challenging strategies that are undertaken by enterprises (Zahra and George, 2002;Fern andez and Nieto, 2005;Knight and Liesch, 2016;Jafari-Sadeghi et al, 2018;Scuotto et al, 2017). Further, internationalisation by small entrepreneurial businesses is an extremely daunting task, especially if they are short of critical resources and are from an under-supported policy context, i.e.…”

PurposeThe main objective of this research was to identify the key critical determinants of internationalisation business processes that entrepreneurs adopted in under-supported policy contexts.Design/methodology/approachThis research utilised a case-study design, incorporating multiple case examples, applying non-probability purposive selection criteria. A total of five in-depth, structured 90-min to two-hour case interviews were conducted with Italian entrepreneurs, in which four out of the five cases selected are goods-oriented, and one is services oriented.FindingsRegarding internal entrepreneurial motives, four crucial determinants were recognised: (1) Making more profit, (2) Expanding market, (3) Personal tendency to export and (4) Obtaining social respect. Regarding external networking capabilities, two key factors were identified: (1) Developing relationships with an international partner or representative and (2) Maintaining relationships with industry-relevant authorities.Research limitations/implicationsThe data gathered for this paper depends on self-announcing, expanding the likelihood of being one-sided for social desirability answers. The sample of research is also limited to small and medium businesses and has covered a limited number of companies.Originality/valueAn under-supported policy context forces international entrepreneurs to make their own arrangements and tailor their business process through personal initiative and interactions with network partners. Taking advantage of field-based data, this paper is probably one of the earliest research studies to identify several internal and external factors impacting on firm internationalisation business processes in the low policy support context for entrepreneurship.

“…Subjective judgment formed as a response to an ambiguous future, following inadequate information or environment, can worsen the entrepreneur's tolerance towards ambiguity. In such an instance, an unwillingness to act and make decisions in the face of uncertainty can discourage entrepreneurs from certain opportunity discovery and creation (Bhidé, 2000). Sarasvathy (2001) contends that entrepreneurs often have to undertake economic decisions in which the success of the future of their businesses are dependent on leveraging the firm's internal resources with the resources of external stakeholders (Harvey, Ng, & Klein, 2015).…”

“…The advantage of an HR balanced scorecard is to show the priorities of human resources and how they are connected. Besides, it enables managers to determine the goals of human resources in future periods by communicating the priorities (Balogh & Golea, 2015;Jafari-Sadeghi, Biancone, Giacoma, & Secinaro, 2018). The HR scorecard aligns business strategy with the objectives and outcomes desired and expected by the human resources to provide a statistical basis for measuring human resources efficiency and their impact on the implementation of organization strategy (Becker, Huselid, & Ulrich, 2001;Jafari-Sadeghi & Biancone, 2017a).…”
