TI - Firm-specific Determinants of an Sme’s Decision to Withdraw from Export Activity
AB - 
	Background. Although international business literature is focused on growth, the process of internationalisation is non-linear and not necessarily “forward-moving.” Recently, there have been numerous calls for studies that would increase the understanding of the phenomenon of “de-internationalisation.” 

	Research aims. This study investigates the firm-specific determinants of the SMEs’ decisions to withdraw from export activity. 

	Methodology. Logistic regression analysis was used to examine the sample of 4105 independent SMEs from EU-28. 

	Key findings. High perceived barriers to internationalisation increase the likelihood of export withdrawal, while firm size and firm performance decrease the likelihood of export withdrawal.
