“…SMEs have limited resources for trial and error; understanding the impact of digitalization is necessary for their results-based decision making. Firms under the pressure of competition due to market transparency and liberalization tend to expand their market for growth and survival (Krammer et al, 2017;Wilden, Gudergan, & Nielsen, 2013).…”

“…Strong relationships with government as part of the network also enable SMEs to gain benefits from government support programmes (Faroque & Takahashi, 2015). Krammer, Strange, and Lashitew (2017) found that access to external technology via licensing is one kind of relational resource that positively related to the export intensity of these firms. Many studies have found a positive relationship between network and firm performance (Kim & Hemmert, 2016;Krammer et al, 2017;Zhou et al, 2007).…”

Digitalization combined with globalization is the current megatrend that impacting the international business landscape and creates opportunities for new business models. Embracing digitalization enables firms for speedy internationalization. Although the phenomenon of early internationalization has received increasing attention in the field of International Entrepreneurship over the past decades, however, there is a lack of focus on the role of digitalization that allows a higher speed of internationalization. This paper proposes a model that highlights the moderating role of digitalization on international business competencies and speed of internationalization. We argue that small and medium enterprises able to enter international markets more rapidly due to the impact of digitalization. This study addresses a gap in the literature and practical development needs for better understanding the impact of digitalization on the speed of internationalization. The limitations and implications of this study will be discussed for theoretical development and future research direction.

“…There is no consensus among the scholars on the meaning of firm capability as several scholars perceive the concept differently. Krammer et al (2018) view firm capability as actions, processes, and systems and associations' businesses may undertake using it available resources. As such, Barney and Arikan (2001) assert that firm capability includes factors that enhance small business' awareness of strategic prospects/threat and its ability to undertake strategies.…”

The purpose of this paper was to establish the joint effect of access to finance and firm capability on small businesses' performance in Kampala, Uganda. The study adopted a cross-sectional design with a sample of 384 small businesses. Self administered questionnaires were used in data collection and data was collected from August to November 2018. The study utilised SPSS to perform correlation and regression. The study found out that access to finance, firm capability and firm performance are positively related. Regression analysis also revealed that access to finance and firm capability equally account for 41.8% change in small business performance. Conversely, access to finance was found to be the most influential factor in predicting firm performance as compared to firm capability. Therefore, the study recommends that policies and programs to improve small business owners' capabilities should be implemented to enhance the performance of their firms; small business owners need government support to get finance characterised by low interest rates; no collateral security and as such, their performance will gradually improve. Small business owners also need to establish long-tern relationships with customers, suppliers and employees to improve their services and products to better the performance of their firms.

“…Krammer advances a two-stage theoretical model which contends that the export performance of emerging economy firms (EEFs) will depend both upon their firm-specific capabilities and their home institutional environments. Specifically, they argue that EEFs will be more likely to export when facing more uncertainty at home from greater political instability, substantial informal competition, and high corruption (Krammer et al, 2018).…”

Non-primary export is one of the most promising areas for the development of Russian foreign economic activity. However, the significant influence of geopolitical problems and underdeveloped internal mechanisms of statutory regulation, state support and stimulation of non-primary exports in Russia do not allow to use all available potential in this regard. As such, the problems of non-primary export development in Russia are being actualized with a view to ensuring a positive influence of this kind of foreign economic activity both on the welfare of the state as a whole and on strengthening its positions in world markets.The purpose of the article is to consider the specifics of non-primary export development in Russia and to propose measures to stimulate its growth.The object of the study is the existing system of non-primary export in Russia with its inherent features and operating principles.The research methodology is as follows: scientific search, generalization, systematization, analysis, graphical construction, modeling, formalization, and forecasting.The key research results consist in the systematization of information on Russia’s promising non-primary export industries, the study of the current system of state support for export, the identification of problematic aspects and the search for solutions, and the development and justification of mechanisms for tax incentives for non-primary export, including due to the proposed division of enterprises into target groups depending on the volume of income from their foreign economic activities.The practical value of the results obtained is that they can be used at the macro level by introducing amendments to the regulatory and legislative acts of the Russian Federation on export regulation in accordance with the results of the grant of the President of the Russian Federation for stimulating and supporting non-primary export.
