| Abstract: |
| •
|
We examined perceptions differentiating key Colombian decisionmakers in 168 SMEs who decided to either internationalize or
remain domestic. An integrative model compares managerial perceptions of competitive, macro-environmental and neo-institutional
factors.
|
| •
|
Foreign MNEs in the home market significantly differentiated decisions to internationalize, as well as the presence of internationalizing
domestic competitors, anticipated product acceptance, and internationalizing suppliers.
|
| •
|
The lack of findings for some institutional and macro-environmental factors may reflect important contextual features of the
Colombian business environment.
