THE STRATEGY OF DE-INTERNATIONALIZATION OF THE SMES OF THE FOOTWEAR IN THE AREA METROPOLITANA DE GUADALAJARA
Journal Title: International Journal of Engineering, Science and Mathematics - Year 2011, Vol 1, Issue 3
Abstract
The aim of this paper is to analyze the exogenous and endogenous factors that determine the strategy of de-internationalization of SMEs in the sector of the footwear in the Metropolitan Zone of Guadalajara (ZMG). The proposed model explains the adoption of the strategy of deinternationalization from studies of comparative cases of SMEs in the footwear sector of the ZMG. In-depth interviews were applied to managers and staff involved during the time that the company was exporting. Analysis points out that lack of strategic planning and the instability in the foreign currency exchange rate are major factors that determine the strategy of deinternationalization in SMEs in the ZMG. Also, it is evident that the strategic imbalance during the de-internationalization strategy is not considered as a failure, but rather as an opportunity to redirect it and thus grow in the local market.
