• W2283413478 abstract "AbstractThis research explores the problems of resource allocation during the process ofinternationalization by small and medium-sized manufacturing firms. The literaturelargely portrays a positive view of internationalization with respect to increased firm performance or growth. However, particularly for Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises(SMEs), growth through internationalization increases uncertainty and may jeopardize firm performance and even threaten survival of the firm. The literature indicates that some SMEs fail during the process of expanding to foreign markets (Brewer 1981;Ramaswamy 1992; Mudambi and Zahra 2007). Many of these failures are due, in part,to the challenges of allocating limited resources during and after internationalization(Chen and Hsu 2009).Given the challenge of internationalizing, this research examines the influenceof resource allocation on firm performance with the aim of providing recommendationson how entrepreneurs can make better resource allocation decisions that in turn maylead to improved performance. To address the problem of allocation of limitedresources during and after internationalization, theoretical propositions are developedbased on modern portfolio-theory (Markowitz 1952; 1959; 1991) that explains the risk-return tradeoffs with regards to resource allocation to domestic, U.S., and foreignmarkets and possible effects on firm performance.This research applies a multiple case-study approach based on critical realism, aqualitative philosophical research paradigm. Data collection is through in-depthinterviews with executives of twenty-two small- and medium-sized manufacturingfirms located in Canada. Within-case and cross-case analyses findings are used toconfirm or modify the propositions, resulting in a descriptive model that best explainsresource allocation decisions and the effects on performance.The findings indicate that resource allocations to domestic, U.S., and foreignmarkets have different contributions to overall firm performance. However, the way inwhich resource allocation trade-offs are decided between these markets is largelydependent on the firms or owners/manager’s disposition to risks and returns. Findingsfrom this research also show that decisions by firm managers to allocate resources to aparticular market depend on their assessment or anticipation of risks and the potentialmitigation strategies that are required in order to maximize returns. This, consequently,determines the firm’s performance during the process of internationalization.This research contributes to the literature in international entrepreneurship,management of technology, and decision analysis. While there is an extensive body ofliterature that focuses on the output of internationalization (i.e., where, when, and howfirms export their products), few studies have specifically examined the inputs thatmake this happen (one of these being the allocation of resources). Rugman et al. (2008)examines the resource allocation decision…" @default.
