Export readiness, SME, InternationalizationAbstract
The present study is conducted to measure the readiness to export of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in Vietnam and examine its determinants. By surveying 200 Vietnamese exporting SMEs, research results show that the readiness to export of an enterprise is reflected in terms of organization and product. Four factors directly impact company export potential are internal export stimulus, external export stimulus, inward internationalization, and pre-export preparation activities. The study provides managerial implications and recommendations for enterprises as well as policy-makers.
