This study empirically investigates key restrictions to the internationalisation of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in manufacturing and across different types of services. The study explores the extent to which binding constraints faced by SMEs producing goods may differ from small firms operating in services sectors and takes stock of how existing policy initiatives address some of these differences. Our results suggest that while firm size clearly influences the trade performance of SMEs in manufacturing, it is an ambiguous predictor of export performance in the case of small-sized services firms. The findings show that firm size influences the choice of export channel and that small firms rely more on indirect and agglomeration networks. Finally, the results point to a strong degree of firm-level heterogeneity across services activities and enterprise size. It would seem that incorporating sectoral and size heterogeneity into existing policies might be desirable to address key constraints for SMEs.

Though innovation strategy and organizational learning have been credited to impact on product innovation performance, they have been rarely considered in a single model simultaneously. Thus, the main aim of the paper is to investigate the extent of impact of innovation strategy on organizational learning and product innovation performance. A structural equation modelling analysis was performed on the survey data collected from Ethiopian textile and leather product manufacturing firms. The result reveals that innovation strategy is positively related to product innovation performance. Further, firm size and ownership type moderate the effect of innovation strategy on product innovation performance. OPSOMMING Alhoewel daar erkenword dat innovasiestrategie en organisatoriese-leer produkinnovasievertoning beïnvloed, word dit selde gelyktydig in 'n enkele model oorweeg. Die doel van die artikel is dus om die invloedsbereik van innovasiestrategie op organisatoriese-leer en produkinnovasievertoning te ondersoek. 'n Strukturelevergelykingsmodellering analise is op opname data van 'n Etiopiese tekstiel-en leerproduk vervaardigers gedoen. Die resultaat toon dat innovasiestrategie positief verwant is aan produkinnovasiesvertoning. Verder is daar gevind dat maatskappy grootte en eienaarskaptipe die invloed van innovasiestrategie op produkinnovasievertoning matig.
