Abstract
The purpose of this study was to establish the contribution of deliberative mindset and implemental mindset to SME (small and medium
enterprises) internationalization. This study employed cross-sectional and correlational research designs. Data were collected through a
questionnaire survey of exporting SME owners and managers. Data was analyzed with the help of Statistical Package for Social Sciences
(SPSS) and SmartPLS. Results suggest that implemental mindset significantly contributes to variances in SME internationalization
unlike deliberative mindset. The findings in this study imply that increased levels of internationalization among SMEs in a developing
country like Uganda can be achieved by those managers and owners who possess an implemental mindset. This study provides initial
empirical evidence of the contribution of deliberative and implemental mindsets to SME internationalization using evidence from
Uganda – a developing country.
