나이지리아 국외연구자료 연구보고서 - International Business Research 발간일 : 2024-01-17 등록일 : 2024-01-26 원문링크

This paper empirically and holistically investigates the motivations behind the internationalization of Nigerian SMEs. SMEs play an important role in a country’s economy, and their internationalization not only contributes to the country’s growth but also the firm’s competitiveness and profitability. Adopting a mixed methods approach, the study analyzed 181 questionnaires distributed to Nigerian SMEs and conducted semi-structured interviews with 10 SMEs. Findings revealed that SMEs are motivated by a combination of factors to go international. The study reveals that profit and growth, foreign market opportunities, and unsolicited foreign orders are some of the motives for internationalization among Nigerian SMEs. In conclusion, internationalization can help SMEs remain competitive, increase their chances of survival, and achieve growth in the long-term.
