ABSTRACT:
Small and medium scale Enterprises are increasing and contributing to the economic activities. There are SMEs which have the capability to go global. There have been research studies talking about the capabilities, reason for an SME to be international players but not all are going global. This paper manifests the motivations and the barriers faced by an SME to go global. The factors identified can be used to understand the reasons for an SME to be an international player.
