Background The internationalization of SMEs can be expected to gain further momentum because the world economy is becoming increasingly integrated with continued declines in government-imposed barriers and continued advances in technology   Purpose The purpose of this paper is to design a theoretical framework for the internationalization of Small and Medium Enterprises, research, analyst and discuss.   Theoretical Framework We have created a model of the internationalization of SMEs which includes four elements: Resource, Mode of Entry, Competitor and Marketing. We believe they are primary considerations for the SMEs to develop foreign operation.   Method We will use qualitative method in our research   Conclusion Optimize the allocation of resources, suitable way to entry foreign market, determine own Competitive advantage, positioning, decision making and controlling.

Thesis (MScEng (Industrial Engineering))--Stellenbosch University, 2008. / This study intends to develop a decision support tool for new business development units in South African consultancies. These consultancies endeavour to out‐license their technology assets. The enterprise engineering model is examined and the rules and boundaries of the Cartesian space is used to derive further functionality (susceptibility, segmentation and competence) from the various enterprise life cycles as measures for business expansion of knowledge organisations. The reader is presented with an overview of knowledge organisations, more specifically consultancy enterprises and its unique challenges and business models. These firms develop technology for specific market applications to assist them in solving industry specific problems. These technologies are easily modularised and packaged and can be transferred as technology assets to licensees. The bulk of the dissertation deals with the process phases in externally leveraging technology assets, with a focus on the intelligence phase of this process. The industrial engineering approach provides a suitable mindset for understanding the complexity of global strategy problems. Proposed global strategies are based on combinations of geographic areas that become more desirable over time. Levels of aggregation are defined, and the global eco‐socio‐political and economical systems are further investigated. Approaches to global strategy management are investigated, and the PEST framework is used in its broadest sense to conduct an external environmental analysis. Franchising as a method of out‐licensing is proposed as a mode of entry into foreign markets. The development of a decision support tool is supported by the generic system model and more specifically principles from productivity management. Multiple criteria decision modelling is discussed and efficiency and effectiveness are used as the objective and subjective variables. The Brown‐Gibson model is used to calculate a weighted evaluation, and the countries of the world are ranked according to these outcomes. Finally, a sensitivity analysis is conducted on the weighted evaluations providing the reader with graphs indicating what the long and short term focus of consulting firms should be regarding their out‐licensing endeavours on a macro environmental level. In conclusion, this study expands the enterprise engineering model for knowledge organisations (specifically consultancy enterprises) using analytical decision making methods in determining global strategy with a focus on the external environmental analysis.

This study describes the factors that drive competitiveness between local firms and multinational enterprises (MNE) in a retail consumer market of an emerging country. It also seeks to identify the approaches and strategies the competitors consider and adopt to maintain the advantage in the consumer market.The objective of this study is to identify the factors local firms and MNE’s will consider when competing with each other. The study also wants to identify the preferred mode of entry of MNE’s.The study will be a quantitative study where relationships between competitors and their performance in the market are measured.The results revealed that local firms do have a competitive advantage over MNE’s in the retail consumer market due to the local firm’s knowledge of the market, rather than the technology and skills. It’s also clear that MNE have a preferred mode of entry and they chose to compete in the industries where they are stronger than the local firms. / Dissertation (MBA)--University of Pretoria, 2012. / Gordon Institute of Business Science (GIBS) / unrestricted

本研究係透過實地訪談並搭配以往文獻進行歸納，藉由瞭解企業進行多角化之動機、所採行之策略類型以及所搭配之進入方式，進而探討多角化經營如何影響智慧資本之蓄積及具體管理制度為何，以期對多角化營運之企業在資源之掌握與管理上作一參考。本研究係依據個案分析之結果，提出以下三項結論以回應研究問題，同時根據研究發現陳述相關建議，最後提出研究限制與未來研究之方向。 一、多角化動機會影響策略類型之選擇，且會搭配適合之多角化進入方式。 二、採取不同之多角化策略及進入方式，所重視之智慧資本項目不盡相同；而無論採取何種策略及其進入方式，所共同重視之項目為人力資本之「員工專業技能」、「向心力」，流程資本之「營運流程」、「創新流程」與「組織彈性」，創新資本之「創新投入」，關係資本之「策略夥伴」，共計七項。 三、針對不同的多角化策略及其進入方式下所重視之智慧資本，企業應採取適當之管理制度予以蓄積與維護，使其得以有效發揮效益。 / This research is primary to provide some references on resource control and management for enterprises which are diverdified or will diversify. By realizing the motivation, types of strategy, and the matching modes of entry for diversification by field interviews and based on previous literature, the study discusses how diversification affects the accumulation and pratical management system of intellectual capital. According to the result of case analysis, the research claims three conclusions in response to the research questions. meanwhile, we also propose some relevant suggestions, and state research limitation and direction in future. 1.The motivations would affect the types of strategy for diversification, and enterprises will choose appropriate modes of entry. 2.Within different diversification strategies and matching modes of entry, the emphasized intellectual capital items will be different. This study finds no matter what strategic types and modes of entry adopted, the common emphasized intellectual capital items include employees’ professional competence and centripetal force in human capital, operating process, innovative process, and organizational elasticity in process capital, innovative input in innovation capital, and strategic partnership in relational capital. 3.For different diversification strategies and the matching modes of entry, all enterprises should adopt appropriate management system to accumulate and maintain the important intellectual capitals, so that they could achieve remarkable success.
