Abstract

The objective of this study was to address a knowledge gap by examining a less-explored domain and exploring the influence of business and political connections on innovation, specifically in the context of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in emerging markets, through the lens of internationalization. This study has specifically examined the importance of business and political connections and their potential impacts on the internationalization and product innovation of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in emerging economies. The proposed model was tested by collecting data from 110 small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the United Arab Emirates. The findings indicate a significant correlation between both business and political connections and the internationalization process of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Additionally, it was observed that the relationship between business ties and the internationalization process is significantly influenced by the implementation of a low-cost strategy.
