Abstract
Identifying factors that inform export activities has received
attention in the literature, but there are fewer studies examining
the resources and capabilities required by SMEs operating
in regional areas. Small businesses face a number of challenges
including resource constraints and lack of access to
financial capital. For SMEs operating in regional, rural and
remote areas, these challenges are amplified. Using the lens
of Resource-Based theory, this study aims to identify specific
resources and capabilities that enable small premium food
producers to undertake export into foreign markets. This
exploratory study utilized semi-structured interviews with
(Nž7) SMEs operating in Tasmania, Australia. This research
extends the usefulness of the Uppsala model by offering a
coherent understanding of some of the specific requirements
for exporting activity and illustrates how small firms can harness
exporting resources and capabilities.
