Abstract

The international development of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) is a focal issue in global economic development in the post-COVID-19 era. This paper aims to discuss the concept, primary pathways, and current status of the international development of SMEs. By analyzing the problems and deficiencies in the international development of SMEs, including factors related to the international political and economic environment and limitations of enterprise's own resources and capabilities, we propose that SMEs need to choose international development strategies that suit their own resources and capabilities.
