Abstract

This study reviews the concepts of tangible and intangible internationalisation using a data from Argentinean SMEs. The findings suggest that managers may have to make a strategic commitment to upgrade and expand firms' resources and capabilities to achieve long term internationalisation. The results offer evidence of the importance and potential risks of participating in a network that can provide access to scarce resources in an environment where public institutions may not offer an appropriate level of assistance to SMEs. This research also contributes to the study of internationalisation of SMEs as it further expands the concept of internationalisation by including a long-term perspective where the company can be international without having a physical presence in a foreign market.
