Popis:	It is documented in the literature that resource deficiency constitutes a barrier to firms’ internationalization. However, small- and medium-sized firms' (SMEs) perceptual barriers to internationalization have received little attention. By highlighting the importance of managerial perceptions in strategic decisions and integrating the resource-based view and the technology acceptance model, this study examines the role of perceived resource deficiency in SMEs’ internationalization. The major finding of this study suggests that perceived resource deficiency in knowledge-based resources constitutes a major perceptual barrier to SMEs’ internationalization. Particularly, perceived resource deficiency in knowledge-based resources has more negative impact on internationalization than does that in other firm-specific resources.
