These include increasing sales, improving profits, diversifying risks, reaping economies of scale, matching the moves of competitors, enhancing competitiveness or accessing government incentives. Both Indonesia and Malaysia seek to enhance the competitiveness of their micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) by including internationalization goals in their respective national development plans for these enterprises. Findings from fourteen case studies in the two countries indicate that exporting may be a serendipitous discovery, as few of these cases were born global in intent. Shifting to intentional exporting will require entrepreneurs to tap into government and/or private networks and thus connect with international buyers. Indonesian MSMEs are more inclined to depend more on government than private networks as they perceive the former to be more credible. Malaysian cases indicate some firms prefer private to government networks. This is attributed to the differences in the political economy of the two countries. Going forward, both countries need to consolidate their government-run programmes and reduce the fiscal burden. MSMEs should tap more into private networks to bridge the information gap that hinders their access to external markets. ASEAN can facilitate the entry of MSMEs into the ASEAN market by implementing resolutely current plans to reduce technical barriers to trade.Trends in Southeast Asia ;2018 no. 5.Small businessGovernment policyIndonesiaSmall businessGovernment policyMalaysiaExport marketingIndonesiaExport merketingMalaysiaSmall businessGovernment policySmall businessGovernment policyExport marketingExport merketing338.6/4209598Tham Siew Yean1543941Tambunan Tulus1956-UkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9910793177503321Accidental and intentional exporters3823484UNINA
