Abstract: International entry modes decision is of major importance, especially in the case of small and medium-sized organisations, as it may considerably impact firms' performance (Lu & Beamish, 2001). If they used to be seen as fragile firms suffering from environmental changes, constraint in their internationalisation by their lack of resources, the growing part of SMEs using massively high-commitment entry modes abroad call for new observations and analysis. Through the analysis of 15 articles taken from the international business field, this literature review aims to highlight the main drivers and inhibitors explaining SMEs' choice of an equity-based vs. non-equity based mode.
