Abstract

More and more SMEs internationalize, partly due to an ever increaisng need to look across borders, because of the world's globalization. Not only is it easier for competitiors to enter the SME's home market, the SME can also enter the foreign market in a relatively easy manner. The question that arises is what an international commercial success determines. This research is occupied with finding these export performance determinants and analyzing the SME's international behaviour, both in a static and in a dynamic way. With the help of structural equations modeling an integral export performance model will be estimated, while other techniques are used to analyse subparts of the model, such as the information behaviour of the international SMEs.
