dc.description.abstract | This paper investigates the influence of cultural distance, geographical distance, and three
market size variables to the target country preference of SMEs in the software industry.
In addition, we examine the shift of priorities in SMEs’ country selection by analyzing
how these factors impact the selection of the first, second, and third target countries.
Empirical findings of this study suggest that almost 70% of country choices can be
explained by software market size and geographical distance alone. The findings adduced
also that entry priority of SMEs shifts very fast from countries within a short
geographical distance to countries with high purchasing power and within a greater
geographical distance. Relations of these macro-level factors are discussed and compared
to earlier qualitative and conceptual studies in this field. Implications for managers are
also provided. | |
