Thesis (Ph.D.)--McGill University (Canada), 2010.

The purpose of this dissertation is to examine two different types of internationalization strategies: (1) a short-term internationalization strategy, which depends on macro and microeconomic factors exogenous to firms, and (2) a long-term internationalization strategy, which implies a strong commitment by firms to become competitive at international levels. A theoretical framework has been developed to address the specific characteristics of small and medium sized enterprises from emerging economies. It is posited that changes in competitive environment, such as pro market reforms and globalization, elicit changes in the relative value of the smaller firms' capabilities and resources.

520 $a The purpose of this dissertation is to examine two different types of internationalization strategies: (1) a short-term internationalization strategy, which depends on macro and microeconomic factors exogenous to firms, and (2) a long-term internationalization strategy, which implies a strong commitment by firms to become competitive at international levels. A theoretical framework has been developed to address the specific characteristics of small and medium sized enterprises from emerging economies. It is posited that changes in competitive environment, such as pro market reforms and globalization, elicit changes in the relative value of the smaller firms' capabilities and resources.
520 $a This study uses a quantitative approach based on a survey methodology. With the collaboration of a foundation from Argentina called ProPymes, we undertook an email survey of small and medium sized customers and suppliers of a multinational firm called the Techint Group. The questionnaire was developed based on a comprehensive literature review as well as exploratory interviews with firms. Based on statistical analysis of the data, we examine the impact of both having a physical presence in foreign markets through trade or other means, and having no physical presence.
520 $a The findings suggest that managers may have to make a strategic commitment to upgrade and expand firms' resources and capabilities to achieve long term internationalization. The results offer evidence of the importance and potential risks of participating in a network that can provide access to scarce resources in an environment where public institutions may not offer an appropriate level of assistance to SMEs. This research also contributes to the study of internationalization of SMEs as it further expands the concept of internationalization by including a long-term perspective where the company can be international without having a physical presence in a foreign market.
