Abstract
Small and medium sized businesses are key aspects of economic progress in every
country and their internationalization is thought to be essential to the growth of the
economy and firm growth. Micro, small, and medium-sized businesses have endured
a great deal of failure and death in Kenya, despite the fact that they are crucial for
increasing employment, capital base, and revenue. The performance of the small and
medium sized enterprises in Kenya’s internationalization remains dismal because
more focus by the government has been on foreign investors. This study sought to
establish the key internationalization strategies that impact Micro and SMEs
performance in Nairobi City County. The general objective of the study was to
investigate effects of internationalization strategies and performance of micro, small
and medium sized manufacturing enterprises in Nairobi City County. The specific
objectives of this study therefore were to determine the effect of managerial
competence, network structure, operating network and international market
knowledge on performance of Micro, Small and Medium size Manufacturing
Enterprises in Nairobi City County, Kenya. The study was anchored on study:
Stakeholders’ Theory, Tradition Foreign Direct Investment Theory, Stage Model
Theory and The Network Approach. This study used a descriptive survey design. The
target population was 262 exporting micro small and medium sized manufacturing
enterprises that are located in Nairobi City, County. A sample size of 53 potential
respondents were randomly selected representing 20% of the total population as
justified under sampling technique. The key source of data was primary, obtained
using structured questionnaires whose reliability and validity were ascertained.
Descriptive and inferential analysis were the two methods that were utilized. The
study found that managerial competence, operating environment and international
marketing knowledge had significant effect on MSMEs performance. Managerial
competence is thought to be an important determinant of internationalization for
MSMEs. The study recommended global partnership to enhance global experience
