Bu çalışma, firma büyüklüğünün, firma yaşının, iş ağı katılımının ve uluslararası fırsat tanınmasının küçük ve orta ölçekli işletmelerin (KOBİ'ler) uluslararasılaşma performansı üzerindeki kümülatif etkisini incelemektedir. Çalışma popülasyonu, özellikle iş ağlarına dahil olanlara odaklanarak Kayseri ve İnegöl Organize Mobilya Sanayi bölgesindeki 160 KOBİ'den oluşmaktadır. Veriler, SPSS 21.00 ile nicel bir yöntem kullanılarak analiz edilmiştir. Çalışmanın analizinden kullanılan aşamalı regresyon analizi sonuçları, firma büyüklüğünün ve uluslararası fırsat tanımanın çeşitli yönlerinin uluslararasılaşma performansı üzerindeki kritik etkisini vurgular. Özellikle, iş ağının yapısının performans üzerinde olumlu bir etkiye sahip olduğu ve uluslararasılaşma çabalarını artırmayı amaçlayan firmalara iyimserlik sağladığı bulunmuştur. Ancak, iş ağının bağın gücü alt boyutunun gücünün performansı önemli ölçüde etkilemediği görülmektedir. Bu bulgular, uluslararasılaşma çabalarını artırmayı amaçlayan firmalar için değerli içgörüler sunmaktadır.
