The study contrasts foreign market entry behavior of small and large service firms. The sample consisted of 141 firms of which 54 were small firms and 87 were larger firms. The study provides empirical evidence that the behavior of small firms differs from that of larger firms mainly in service industries characterized by higher capital intensity. It also suggests that at lower levels of capital intensity, small firm behavior may resemble that of larger firms. More specifically, In industries characterized by lower levels of capital Intensity, small service firms are as likely as their larger counterparts to enter culturally distant markets and to choose foreign direct Investment (FDI) modes of entry. But, at higher levels of capital Intensity, small service forms are less likely than larger ones to enter culturally distant markets, and to choose FDI modes of entry.

The topic of internationalization has received an increased amount of attention due to globalization and growing amounts of international trade. One of the most important factors for the success of foreign market operations is the choice of the entry mode. This paper investigates the key determinants for the choice of foreign market entry mode. Specifically, the research examines the effects of market-related factors of the selected entry mode on service companies. This study contributes to the existing knowledge of internationalization of service companies by analyzing market-related factors of entry modes. Moreover, it provides managerial implications that might be applied by companies and governmental agencies to promote investment and internationalization of local companies.
