“…Furthermore, external change agents can be introduced through government support. In this case, government export programs may play an important role as facilitators of these exogenous events (Martineau & Pastoriza, ), thereby exerting a positive impact on international involvement. Finally, given the central role of managers/founders in SMEs, they should diligently identify institutional support available by way of promotional incentives from the government and proactively devise approaches to effectively make use of these government programs to boost their export development (Paul et al, ).…”

“…Due to the importance of SMEs, their internationalization has emerged as an important research topic in recent decades. Notably, export is by far the most common strategy adopted by SMEs to internationalize (Martineau & Pastoriza, ). In the context of China, the rapid growth of the export sector has become a key driver of its impressive economic growth.…”

“…In so doing, various stakeholders can develop need‐based stimuli that encourage nonexporters to become involved in international operations (Kahiya et al, ). Considering that SMEs are at a resource disadvantage compared to large multinational enterprises (MNEs), it is likely that their strategic orientation, particularly with respect to international involvement, is a person‐driven phenomenon (Martineau & Pastoriza, ) and susceptible to managers'/founders' cognitive characteristics. The knowledge, attitudes, and commitments of managers within the firm are likely the driving force behind internationalization (Love, Roper, & Zhou, ).…”

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.

“…The goal is to identify the items with the greatest impact in the analysis of cocitations, keywords associated with the theme, authors, and journal publishing with greater impact (Small, 1973; Zitt and Bassecoulard, 1994). The systematic literature review followed the approach suggested by Denyer and Neely () and Martineau and Pastoriza (). A document analysis using the Thomson Reuters ISI and Scopus databases focused on women's entrepreneurship and internationalization using the social sciences as the research domain.…”

There has been an increased interest in women's entrepreneurship research due to the changing sociocultural conditions in the global marketplace. Despite this trend, there is still a lack of understanding about the role women entrepreneurs play in the internationalization process of firms. The aim of this article is to systematically review the literature on women's entrepreneurship and internationalization by examining the trends in the research. A bibliometric analysis is conducted on articles in the Web of Science databases to understand which researchers are publishing the most and how they are related to other researchers in the field. In addition, a content analysis of the articles from the bibliometric analysis is conducted that reveals three main clusters from the research: (a) epistemological position and gender, (b) cultural and social reasons for the creation of businesses, and (c) motivations, business characteristics, and performance. From the bibliometric and content analysis, implications for policy makers and future research directions for women's entrepreneurship and internationalization patterns are stated.

“…Another important factor in international involvement is the intensity of exports (current and relative growth rate of the weight of overseas sales) (Martineau and Pastoriza, 2016). This factor is related to the FSTS dimension of Degree of Internationalization (DOI).…”

The level of internationalization of companies in developing countries is an important factor in the economic success of both businesses and the developing countries. The aim of the present study is to dimension the internationalization of export companies and to determine the effect of these dimensions on the export performance of the companies. The study data were collected from export companies in Turkey with a web-based questionnaire. In the study, structural equation modeling was utilized and in addition to elements in the degree of internationalization (DOI) measurements available in the literature, the speed component was added to the research model. As a result of the research, it was found that the dimensions grouped as sales, country and human factors as the second-order DOI and these dimensions positively affected the export performance of the companies. It was observed that the DOI measurement of the dimensions included in the study supported the results of other studies in the literature
