Abstract: This paper proposes a useful and practical research agenda that the authors hope will stimulate future research on issues concerning the efficiency of government programs for export promotion and identify the key success factors for the internationalisation of SMEs in the new economy. In a brief write-up, the authors try to convince readers of the relevance of public policy and international expansion of high-technology SMEs and hence the need for are search agenda to aid SMEs in their internationalisation. A research agenda is proposed to facilitate as well as to encourage future research. The paper's relevance lies in its focus on SMEs as falling behind in the attention given to them in terms of public and internationalisation policies.
