Description This study explores the internal factors that may enhance SME internationalization. It contributes to the field of international business by providing hypotheses about organizational and owner-manager’s characteristics which affect SME internationalization. Combining the Resource-Based View and the Upper Echelons Theory the study creates a more complete picture of the effect of organizational and owner-manager’s characteristics on the likelihood of SME internationalization. The proposed hypotheses are tested in a sample of Bulgarian SMEs offering empirical evidence about SME internationalization in a transition context and addressing the call for more research in this context.This study explores the internal factors that may enhance SME internationalization.
