Issues in Internationalization and Their Impact on Performance of Internationalized SMEs in Sri Lanka

Abstract

It is obvious that the degree of focus and dedication is required for completion of a M.Sc. thesis. Though this piece of writing appears a solitary undertaking this thesis would not have been the same if the help and support of many people were not extended faithfully. First and foremost, I would like to thank Mr. M.V.S.S. Udayanga for being my research supervisor. Without his constructive critiques and recommendations, this thesis would not be possible. His faithful support during the different stages of this thesis is highly appreciated as his guidance makes my M.Sc. experience productive and stimulating. Second, I gratefully acknowledge Dr. P.D. Nimal. former M.Sc. coordinator and Dr. P.J. Kumarasinghe, present M.Sc. coordinator for their assistance to bring the wealth of experience and valuable insights to me via M.Sc. course work. In addition, I would like to extend my kind gratitude for academics and intellectuals who helped me to move beyond my intellectual comfort zones during course work of the programme. Third, I would like to thank staff of the Export Development Board for providing contact details of exporters and export information and statistics, and also I would like to appreciate support extended by students of the SMEDSU and the Department of Entrepreneurship, and friends for collecting data through questionnaires.
