Although there has been a shift towards incorporating young small firms from knowledge intensive industries within International Business studies, research on such firms from emerging economies is lacking. There is limited empirical evidence on ERISFs from Sub-Saharan African emerging economies, and the applicability of concepts and theoretical models underpinning the internationalisation of such firms. The potential of ERISFs from emerging economies in enriching and extending the theoretical developments within International Business has largely been ignored. As a result, this research seeks to fill this gap by using the resource based view to link the relevant key concepts which underpin the internationalisation of South African ERISFs. 2010-12 2010-07 graduation eng author unchecked This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.
