Abstract

The paper analyses the antecedents of exporting by small and medium sized enterprises. A conceptual model integrates push and pulls factors triggering firms to start exporting with factors acting as barriers and/or facilitators in the process. Specific attention is devoted to the role of the decision maker and the nature of the competitive advantage of the firm. The paper concludes by offering some policy considerations and implications for public agencies providing export assistance to small and medium sized enterprises.
