Abstract

This article presents the results of a survey of all U.S.‐owned small and medium‐sized enterprises (SMEs) with physical facilities in Europe. It is a snapshot of the role of key strategic, tactical, and operational elements of U.S. SME globalization in Europe. It presents descriptive results regarding drivers of expansion, barriers to entry, entry strategies and current operating strategies, growth strategies, operational barriers, and the use of strategic alliances by SMEs in Europe. The findings are also compared with the literature on large firms. This allows the reader to see the distinct differences between small and large U.S. firms operating in Europe.
