The internationalization of Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) is a topic of constant research interest due to the impact these have on economic growth and employment in developed, emerging and developing countries. A desire to understand and a growing interest in the study of the internationalization process of SMEs has provoked a significant increase in the production of manuscripts in this field in the last decade. Therefore, it is necessary to carry out periodic reviews on the state-of-the-art of this phenomenon in order to highlight advances and limitations, to motivate reflections and stimulate progress in future research. Thus, the main objective of this study is to describe the state-of-the-art of the research into SME Internationalization based on a bibliometric analysis of 1152 manuscripts published from 1990 to 2018. The results enable the identification of the main agents that are constantly developing this field through an analysis of scientific production and collaboration indicators. Furthermore, through a co-word analysis, this research establishes hot-spot research trends that need to be developed in future research. The main contribution of this research is the configuration of a knowledge map on SME Internationalization research.

“…Both firm-level and family consequences are considered as outcomes. The primary outcome variables measured in the first wave of data collection include satisfaction with economic, noneconomic, and family-centred goals, internationalisation (Dabić et al, 2019;Fernández and Nieto, 2006) and work-family balance, which examines the degree to which the business creates tension in the family (Carr and Hmielski, 2015). While baseline data was also collected for innovativeness and innovation outputs (De Massis et al, 2015) and firm financial performance, testing for these effects would ideally require collection after an elapsed period of time in future research in order to test for lagged effects.…”

In privately held firms, owners are a social group of people who are aware of, interact with, and influence each other. There are dynamic relationships between them and potential clashes between self-and collective interests. At the same time, the management literature suggests that family firms behave differently than non-family firms and follow a different set of goals. This paper introduces a research framework, sample and initial findings of the Responsible Ownership Project, which aims to contribute to our understanding of how attitudes and behaviours of owners in privately held firms may influence the economic and non-economic outcomes of their firms. The goals of the paper are to explore the role of family businesses among Czech private firms and to test whether the family plays a significant role in responsible ownership behaviours in private firms. Our descriptive statistics suggest that family businesses play a non-negligible role in the Czech economy. Using Student's t-test for mean differences, we find a higher level of responsible ownership for family-owned vs non-family-owned firms. Finally, we present directions for future research and the expected contributions of the research project.

“…Table 6 shows that the TAS value of the Product Development Strategy is 2.3 and the TAS value of the Market Development Strategy is 2.82. According to Dabic et al (2019), the elimination of barriers, and technological advances in manufacturing, transportation, and communication have encouraged global access for SMEs. SMEs increasingly encourage economic growth and innovation and present opportunities and challenges for SMEs in the global arena.…”

“…Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are recognized as one of the economic drivers, as reflected in their role in supporting economic growth, creating job vacancy, and promoting an entrepreneurial environment according to Dangi et al (2018). The elimination of barriers and the availability of advanced technology in manufacturing, transportation, and communication have encouraged global access for SMEs (Dabic et al, 2019). However, they still experience various obstacles such as asymmetry, problems related to contract design, dependence on the supplier, product specifications, supply chain complexity, and performance monitoring (Cragg and McNamara, 2018).…”

This research aims to identify local government strategies in developing MSMEs. A qualitative method with observation techniques, in-depth interviews (depth interviews) and Focus Group Discussion (FGD) was applied to obtain primary data. The result was that IFE analysis with a score of 3.02 shows the internal conditions in a good category (the first rank was the marketing factor followed by production and information system factors). The result of the analysis of strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats shows that the strategy lied in quadrant I. The right strategy in this quadrant is the aggressive strategy which in this case MSME players could take advantage of opportunities that are supported by internal strengths owned, oriented towards growth strategies. The total EFE matrix score is 3.15. which shows the external conditions are in a good category were in the first rank was the government's partisanship, the business world towards MSMEs, the separation of MSMEs and SMISs, and the availability of capital. The disadvantage is the high level of social and security vulnerability. Based on the QSPM and IFE Matrix, 2 cumulative alternative strategies were obtained with the TAS value of the Product Development Strategy of 2.54 and the TAS value of the Market Development Strategy of 2.78, as the main alternative that should be chosen. Based on QSPM and EFE, the TAS value of the Product Development strategy is 2.3 and the TAS value of the Market Development Strategy is 2.82, becoming the main alternative that should be chosen.
