Empowering Digital Technologies For Small and Medium-sized Enterprise Rapid Internationalization

Abstract

Embracing digital technologies empowers small and medium-sized enterprises for rapid internationalization. Although the phenomenon of small and medium-sized enterprises has received attention in the international entrepreneurship field, there is still a lack of knowledge concerning the digital technologies that empower small and medium-sized enterprises for rapid internationalization. This paper suggests propositions based on a conceptual framework to emphasise digital technologies to enable rapid internationalization among small and medium-sized enterprises. The conceptual highlights leading to rapid and improved performance of internationalization among small and medium-sized enterprises are enhanced using digital technologies. The implications and future direction of the study are addressed.
