摘要：
The current article's goal is to identify and analyse the barriers to internationalization of digital SMEs. It was developed a theoretical framework concerning internationalization barriers in the modern business literature, focusing on strategic management, networking, internal factors and external barriers. 21 digital SMEs were examined; the companies were chosen based on a Snowball sampling. A cluster analysis was developed in order to compare the performance of the firms and their main challenges towards internationalization. External barriers appear to be the most significant barrier for businesses, but those factors are related to a lack of strategic managerial drive, which resulted in dispersed and reactive internationalization initiatives.
