Internationalisation is considered a key driver of firm performance ( Denicolai et al., 2015 Schwens et al., 2018) and represents a way by which small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) can pursue new opportunities, broadening their customer base, attaining larger production volumes, and leveraging resources in different markets ( Lu and Beamish, 2001 Ruzzier et al., 2007 Skrt and Antoncic, 2004).Īlthough most studies investigate internationalisation processes at firm level ( Knight, 2001 McDougall and Oviatt, 2000 Oviatt and McDougall, 2005), previous research has pointed out that, in SMEs, the central factor which explains a firm's international behaviour is the entrepreneur ( Andersson, 2000).
